All about the Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor

I've been training for a long time. I've been engaged in a number of sports and activities from football and MMA to hiking and biking. I like to push my body hard. However, it wasn't until I bought my first heart rate monitor that I really started to see results. I was able to see when I was pushing myself too hard or when I was going soft. My heart rate monitor was like a personal coach encouraging me to push harder, run faster and lose weight. However, my problem was I wasn't sure which model was the best. I've tried several models over the years, some very good, others were awful.

As far as the Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor goes, I rate it as fair. I've used a number of their products and it's a good watch and it's really cheap. But I prefer something a little more diverse, because I am into a lot of different sports and training regiments. However, if this is your first heart rate monitor and you are only using it for weight loss and general training, I think you will like this. However, for some of you who are into the P90x or Insanity workout programs, you might want to opt for a better monitor. Because you'll want to track your progress and get the additional functions of a more expensive heart rate monitor watch.

Also, be careful with the strap, if you are hitting your chest against something or even twisting and bending a lot, you map flip it over without even realizing it.
