I just push myself and figure if I live I've done something good for myself. I'm not a gadget person. I occasional take my pulse, but am more interested in recovery speed. I don't know, I do so many tings different than what's recommended. The thing is, I'm fit and most others are not. I guess I've just been lucky, or as Hamlet said, "there is method in my madness." If my foolishness kills me, tell others not to do it like I did. I have never used a heart monitor. I just push myself and figure if I live I’ve done something good for myself.

If I don't, I psyche myself out and don't push myself enough. The monitor lets me get in just the right zone. Always. If I don’t, I psyche myself out and don’t push myself enough.

The one I had (Reebok, I think) was all over the place on calories burned, which made me suspicious of the heart rate displayed. I've heard good things about the Polar products, so maybe I'll splurge someday soon. For now, I just go until I can't anymore. :) I confess, I don’t use a heart rate monitor.
