chime in nowWhy you want one: Wearing a heart rate monitor helps you figure out the right pace and intensity of exercise. Depending on your health and fitness level, your doctor may recommend you keep your heart rate below a certain level during exercise. It's especially good to wear if you're trying out an advanced workout DVD.
Try this: The Timex Health Touch HRM ($60) is a wristwatch/stopwatch that also monitors heart rate and tracks calories burned during exercise.
