I was very interested in this item because I've been walking for exercise but wasn't really sure I was reaching my target heart rate<br /><br />consistently. The monitor, which displays the time as well as your heart rate on a watch, works in conjuction with a gizmo that you strap around yourself, just under your chest. (I will tell you, since I was concerned about this, that it's hardly noticeable once it's in place...it's a 12" or so long piece of plastic with an adjustable elastic strap...not very bulky at all!)<br />The monitor also features a stopwatch and an alarm, so that after you set your minimum & maximum desired heart rates, you can be alerted when you are out of range. The alarm is a "beep-beep" that I can hear over the book on tape I drag along with me. Your heart rate is updated every second or two so you will always know if you need to pick up the pace a bit. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hjXsq5V9q6c/SYNE9H0y4FI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/NFuGWtzOWfY/s1600-h/41V0DHS2VDL__SL500_AA280_.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297153403581030482" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 257px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 253px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hjXsq5V9q6c/SYNE9H0y4FI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/NFuGWtzOWfY/s320/41V0DHS2VDL__SL500_AA280_.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Although I have not yet had to do so, the chest strap has a removable backing, and you apparently can change the battery yourself (this is a big deal, I guess, since some of the more expensive monitors require that you send them to the factory for a battery change). The elastic strap is also completely removable, which makes it very easy to wash (and you will need to if you're exercising!). The monitor comes packaged in a small, zippered carrying case, and includes an attachment that allows you to place it on a bicycle handlebar. This does everything I need it to, and I recommend it for anyone who is just getting started in an exercise program<br /><span style="color:#999999;"><span style="color:#3333ff;"></span></span><br /><span style="color:#999999;"><span style="color:#3333ff;">Product Features:</span><br /></span>Heart rate monitor is easy to program<br />Comfortable to wear with ventilated watch band<br />Helps maintain a proper heart rate with a high/low heart rate alarm<br />Chest transmitter belt sends data to the receiver at a distance of up to 98 feet (30 meters)<br />Built with a backlight function, time of day display, and daily reminder alarm<br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=omhr10heramo-20&o=1&p=13&l=ur1&category=health&banner=1FBWF8DVB1Y8TH3YE3R2&f=ifr" width="468" height="60" scrolling="no" border="0" marginwidth="0" style="border:none;" frameborder="0"></iframe><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6236014488154898679-8579064756134767212?l=hr100creview.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>hashimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00940844590798086105noreply@blogger.com0
