I love training with a heart rate monitor , and Polar is my favorite brand. These days I have been working out with the RS300X ($170). Designed with running in mind, this HRM is great for other sports as well. For me, the feature that distinguishes this heart rate monitor from others I have used in the past is the big red lap button at the bottom of the watch face. Press it, and the watch saves your stats for that lap, but keeps on recording the rest of your workout. When you’re done with

your workout, the RS300X breaks down your workout data by lap as well as giving your info on your overall workout. It is great for working out at the track when running repeat distances or when training with negative splits . When combined with the S1 Foot Pod ($130), the heart rate monitor tracks your speed and distance as well – perfect for all the type A runners out there. For more of my opinion, keep reading.
