Heart Rate Monitor

So I purchased a heart rate monitor to help with determining accurate calories burned.  I finally sat down yesterday morning to set it up.  It was so easy!!! I decided to try it out during my workout. 

I went to the gym and did the following workout:

15 minutes arc trainer

45 minutes lifting arms 

        - I used dumbbells, cables, and bicep/tricep machines 

15 minutes running intervals 

15 stair stepper

It was a long and intense workout.  However, it felt amazing!  I loved having the heart rate monitor.  The watch portion told me my heart rate during different parts of my workouts.  In addition, it told me the calories I was burning.  It was awesome!!! I found the chest band a little annoying, but I got used to it.  Regardless of the little annoyance I would totally recommend getting this device.  It was super helpful!
