heart rate monitor for fitness

[mandimoo]

i would like to buy one that can tell me what heart rate to exercise at for fat burning, like it might beep when you go out of the zone. anybody got any recommendations, or direct me to a buying guide for them?

I have a Polar one from Argos.

Yes a Polar one is ideal, especially if you're planning on using it in the gym, then the cardio machines are equiped to link in with the Polar heart rate monitor, so your heartrate will show up on the machine's display. Most gyms use Life Fitness machines and these are Polar enabled.

There are many different specs of Polar monitors, from basic to the more elaborate ones. They mostly usually come with a Digital type watch, so your heartrate etc will be displayed there.
