Garmin Heart Rate Monitor

The Garmin company makes global positioning systems (GPS) as well as heart rate monitors. A Garmin heart rate monitor is a great choice for anyone who is serious about working out. One model to consider is the Forerunner 301, priced at about $199. This model features a heart monitor that constantly tracks and displays your heart rate so you'll know if you are exercising in your target area. It can be detrimental to go under or over your target range, especially if you want to make the most of your fitness training.

This model also calculates your heart rate zones and adjusts them automatically. The AutoLearn technology works to monitor your fitness level and uses the data to adjust your target zone as you make progress. If you are someone who likes mixing up your workouts or are training for a triathlon or other multi-sport event, you will surely appreciate the three sport modes for biking, running and any other sporting activity of your choice. By pressing and holding the mode button you can switch between different sport modes.

Another fabulous feature of the Forerunner 301 is the training center software that comes with it. This software lets you store data and analyze your workouts using various graphs. These graphs help you easily track your heart rate, time spent exercising, exercise pace and how far you travel. You can even add an overlay of your workout over a map to see where changes in elevation or terrain make a difference. You can even route share with other Garmin software users, which means downloading other users' routes and uploading your own.

There are plenty of other Garmin heart rate monitor choices available as well. Models include the Forerunner 101, 201, 305 and 405 just to name a few. You can comparison shop online for these and other Garmin products. One thing is for sure, when you get a monitor with the Garmin brand name you can be sure you're getting a high quality product with state of the art features. Even if you're not a pro athlete or training for an event one of these high-tech monitors can motivate you to reach new fitness goals. There are monitors from this company for every price range and training need, which you will see after a little browsing.
