If you’re new (or even a veteran) to the world of fitness, one thing you’ll hear mentioned over and over is “to get your heart rate up.”

When you increase your heart rate, you give your heart a little workout (it is a muscle, you know!) and your body will flip into cardio/fat burning mode, which is what we’re all looking to do. But the question remains, “how do I know when my heart rate is up enough?”

With this Heart Rate Monitor Watch
you’ll never have to wonder again.

This watch with a heart monitor boasts the following features so you can keep track of your exercise and your progress:

* Visual and audible alarm in target zone / Stopwatch / Water resistant to 50 meters / Extra llarge digits.
* Recording features - Exercise time (total) / Average heart rate of total exercises
* Watch features - Time of day / Stopwatch
* Includes Wrist Unit with CR2025 battery, Transmitter with built-in lithium cell, and Elastic Strap to hold transmitter on chest.

This sure beats the old style counting your heartbeat by hand and for under $100.00 you can closely monitor your exercise patterns with nothing more than something you might wear anyway. What a great solution to getting in shape.
