Fitness Heart Rate Monitors

Fitness Heart Rate Monitors

Track your fitness levels and train within safe parameters using a state-of-the-art heart rate monitor. They boast a range of impressive added features to choose from and are manufactured by some of the world's most trusted tech companies. There's a diverse selection of high-quality GPS fitness heart rate monitors, as well as fitness heart rate monitors with Bluetooth, ensuring your health is in the best of hands.

A heart rate monitor is designed to track the beating of your heart by transmitting an electrical signal through the heart muscle. This transmitter is attached to a belt that is worn around the chest while you exercise, with a receiver worn on the wrist, much like a watch. The receiver will display your heart rate—together with numerous other added functions—helping you to track your level of fitness and set parameters for your training.

There are a whole range of different heart rate monitors out there in a variety of designs, but comfort should be one of the main elements. An easily adjustable chest belt will ensure you can find a fit that's just right for you, while an easy-to-read screen and large display will help you monitor your heart rate visually. If you plan on exercising in the evening or low-light conditions, then look for a heart rate monitor with a backlit screen. Waterproof models are a great option if you're getting out in all conditions.

Just enter your age and other requested variables and let your heart rate monitor determine a maximum heart rate for you. This will help you set boundaries during your fitness training, with the device sending out a warning alarm or vibrations if your heart rate gets too high.

Heart rate monitors come with a range of added functions, such as calorie counters to see how many are being burned during your workout, and a recovery mode to see how quickly your body recovers (as a measure of how fit you are). If you want to record laps and compare your lap times, then look for a heart rate monitor with this function and use it in conjunction with your pedometer to track your steps and distance covered.
