DIAMOND HANDS!

I also enjoy watching her talk to him. Translating sales speech into plain English "Oh, that's nice, I don't actually give a shit about anything you're saying. I'm now going to regurgitate the sales pitch, shut the fuck up and listen."

why do they say heart rate should change with age - mine is still going to the same amounts as when I was 15 and I am 40. I so the same excercises and still measure it the same and it didn't change a bit.

For me the Polar F11 is outstanding in it's features and easy to follow setup

IMO: At best A HRM can only guarantee that the heart is 'fitter' or healthier in its operation. Its benefit to you as your perform your activities is at best implied and you would need additional data to determine.

Giving my Age of 25. while im Training my heart rate is up in the 180's is that Safe? since it should be around 133-166

@foleybarbarian I'm not an expert, but I do up to 90% of my maximum heart rate (175bpm) during the peak time of interval training. It wouldn't work for long aerobic training as it's a bit high and may lead to a head ache.

I hate to tell you guys this because I have and love my Polar, but at :50 I think your guy friend there is wearing a TIMEX!!

Thanks for sharing. Nice to hear feedback from real people.

I just ordered the F7. Really looking forward to using it.

As for the poster beneath me, yes they are expensive. But honestly, you do get what you pay for. All the people I've talked to in the gym swear by Polar, and I guarantee that 90% of the people I see with HRM has the name "Polar" on it.

I love my polar HR monitor- but seriously guys, I've never seen anyone with one of your HR monitors that costs $hundreds in the gym! You seriously need more mid-range $50-$150 monitors with more functionality. Once upon a time, everyone in my spin class had one- now nobody does.
