SDS Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 There are so many out there, but I'm having trouble looking for what I need. Other than the usual time and distance I want one that interfaces with a Polar H7 chest strap and has the ability to: manually set min/max heart rate zone puts out audio alerts when you fall below or rise above those limits. Any suggestions?
BringBackFergy Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Record by Under Armour - Exercise Smarter, Feel Better, Live Longer, connects with UA HealthBox by Under Armour https://appsto.re/us/J1Xx1.i I use "My Fitness Pal" by UnderArmor to track my diet, exercise, weight loss etc. I like it a lot. I just checked and they hVe the above app which I think you are looking for...it syncs to your Heart Strap. Check it out.
BringBackFergy Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I swear by MFP. Lost 53 pounds this past year doing it. The other good linked app is map my run. Also by under armor; Links to my fitness pal. You can also get just about every kind of heart monitor, which will link to it. I think I started using MFP when you said you used it. It's a nice way to keep eating healthy (because I don't want to see my 2000 calories/day go red in the negative territory). Down from 204 to 193 since April 5. Congrats on your 53 pounds. Fantastic.
BringBackFergy Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 very nice! I am glad I could motivate you!! I know it really helped me ration basically. I didn't want to go into dinner with like 500 calories left. But even if I did, I would hit the bike or something to pick up a few hundred extra. Right now I am on a maintenance calorie amount, and doing pretty well. I am just hoping it sticks, since I had to buy all new clothes (twice) on my way down! I bet it felt good to go buy new clothes on your way down...it was worth it.
KD in CA Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Fitbit is probably the best way to go. I have a Fitbit which I like overall, but IMO the heart rate monitor is not accurate.
