Does it help you when you are exercising?

Yes! At my gym, you must wear one for spinning classes. It lets you know when you are in the fat burning zone, when you need to kick it up a notch or when you are overdoing it!

I got one for Christmas as well. I work out on a consistent basis and yet my heart rate is always in the 90% range when I am doing cardio. The monitor helps me to tone it down in spin and kickboxing. Turns out I was always overdoing it. Working out is much easier now !!

I am taking spinning on Thursday and using the heart rate monitor for the first time.

I love my heart monitor....I know if I am working hard enough, too hard, or not at all
Most of the times, it's the latter

I use it for my spinning class too, it is recommended

DH and I bought a stair climber w/a built in heartrate monitor and it is definitely helpful in tracking your progress during the workout.
