Heart rate monitor for cardio, do you?
I noticed that in the thread 'How much gear do you take?' that no one listed a HRM.
I always use one to keep me on track in any cardio workout. I don't like the grab the handle type HRM on treadmills and such. I use a Polar chest strap. Works great if the machine your on can read the chest strap signal.
I take it on my cardio mountain bike rides sometimes just to see how I'm doing.
So anyone else use one?

I agree as well, once you "learn" your body it's not really necessary IMO.

Sorry I missed this before!!!
I'm a HUGE HRM fan. Your heart rate can tell you all sorts of things - like if your body needs more rest you can tell from your DELTA heart rate!
I use my HRM to interval train on cardio equipment. My perceived rate of exertion was always lower than it should have been!
If you haven't read it, I highly recommend the Sally Edwards book on Heart Rate Monitors for Indoor/Outdoor Cyclists (it will apply to any cardio though).
GREAT BOOK!Moderator - Sexual Health and Open Chat
