Heart Rate Monitors for Cardio Training

[CCW]

Do any of you use HR monitors when cardio training? If so, what brand?

I should, but I do light cardio under 130 heart rate so I dont get into muscle burning. I am more focused on gaining mass.

I have been staying in the 148-161 range while running but am backing down to 115-125 and the monitors on the equipment I use are questionable.

Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS watch with HRM. I had a 405 at one point, but after much research, sold it and got a 305. Bigger screen, less finicky, great watch! Developed some nasty achilles tendonitis so I haven't used it lately, but will as soon as I can run again!

Thats the main reason I would say get one after doing some research. I dont trust the equipment at all.

If you want a good quality mo it or with chest strap check out the house brand at Pricepoint.com I send all of my people there to get cycling shoes and monitors.

Polar is what you want. They've been making them for a long time. Bells and whistles...you want polar. Once you know your target zones all you need is a number, you don't need all the BS either.

I am hoping my wife would buy me this one for my birthday
