The Fitter Way Of Life

 

If you're keen on knowing if you're improving or doing the best you possibly can at the gym during exercises such as HIIT and core work then getting a heart rate monitor would be a pretty good idea!

 

What's the point in doing 20 minutes of exercising if you're not working at your max and you don't know it? 

With a heart rate monitor, you usually get a timer, stop watch and the actual time on the watch too which can come in handy if you're doing exercise outside or in a studio with no clock. 

 

Most heart rate monitors come with a band which has to be strapped to your chest to get the HBPM number reading, but you can find some watches which are a bit more convinient and just need you to place two fingers on the sensors on the watch to give an accurate reading.

 

The best heart rate monitors are expensive which is obvious, so if you have got that kind of money, then it is a good investment to make for the long term as they'll last you a couple of years.

 

If you're a bit tight on cash then you can still get a half decent one for about £30 from places like Amazon and any big named sport shops.
