Elite Veteran  970    Smyrna, Georgia |  Subject: Accessories for heart rate monitor?Hi there, I'm about to order my x-mas gift of a polar s-120 heart rate monitor and I get to choose a free gift. I'm kinda curious if this is a hint that I need some accessories for my heart rate monitor. I can get one of the following:
What is spectra electrode gel and do I need it? I'm leaning towards getting the fat caliper, but do you think I should get one of the other things? Thanks for your help. I want to make sure that Hubby's x-mas gift for me is just right. ;-) |

Why not spend just few bucks more and get the S-150 with which you also get the bike mount, wired speed sensor so you can use it on the bike and get some basic cycling functions. You can get it right now from Tri Outfitter for $108.95 with free shipping. http://www.trioutfitter.com/polars150.html |

I have the 120 and that's the only thing on your list that I've purchased. The HR guide would be good as well but I would recommend getting a more general training book (TTTB for example) instead, since it will have HR info plus tons more. |

Elite Veteran 970 Smyrna, Georgia | Subject: RE: Accessories for heart rate monitor? I already have a bike computer, so I don't feel like I need the extra features. I don't particularly care for electronic devices such as HRMs or bike computers (I have a complete manual that I can't force myself to read through) and just want to find my max heart rate and keep it in the aerobic zone. |
