The Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor is easy to program and a cinch to wear with a ventilated watch band. Knowing your heart rate is important because if you're working out too hard, your activity can actually become counter productive and strain or damage muscles. 
Monitor your heart rate with Omron's HR-100C. View larger. | To achieve an effective workout, no matter what the aerobic activity, you must maintain your heart rate at a proper level for a minimum of 20 minutes. In general, the proper level falls between 65 percent-85 percent of your maximum heart rate. To ensure you don't drop above or below your proper level, the HR-100C is built with an alarm option that indicates low and high heart rates. Omron includes a chest transmitter belt with the wristwatch-style monitor. This transmitter sends data to the receiver on your wrist at a distance up to 98 feet (30 meters). The HR-100C is built with a backlight function for exercising after nightfall, and it also displays time of day and a daily reminder alarm feature. Also included is a mounting bracket that makes it easy to attach the watch receiver to most treadmills and bicycles and a soft, zippered storage case.

Q&A - Fitness Monitors
What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the most accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content that conduct electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical current through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical current is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula that includes five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender.
What is visceral fat?
Visceral fat is located around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased level of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can reduce it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat located under skin).
What is resting metabolism?
Resting metabolism is the energy to maintain vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can increase daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism level, you can lose weight.
What is skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones that is used to move the body. If you do weight loss without exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to maintain your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.

 heart rate monitor March 20, 2010
Melvin Levendorf (Deltona Florida)
Since most heart rate monitors that are on the treadmills don't work, it helps to have one tha works. This one works very well and can be put to use on a bicycle etc. It gives a ongoing rate and is very acurate. M. Levendoref M.D.
So far, so good! March 19, 2010
Goth Hippy (Florida)
I just got this yesterday, and used it during my almost 40 minute step workout. So far, it works great! Very easy to use, the instructions are clear. You just wet the conducters to get a reading (doesn't take much at all!) and away you go. I set up the target heart rate zone (I'm trying to burn fat, so I set it b/w 60% and 74%). Works great! It beeped when it was out of range, and I was able to hear it over my step aerobic DVD (and it's at a loud enough volume) so all in all, it does exactly what I need it to - definitely worth the money!
I'm surprised at all the negative reviews, quite frankly. But, I saw similar reviews with the same complaints for the much, much more expensive monitors as well, so you can't please everyone!
But for me, it works fine, and would definitely recommend it.
EDIT: I just wanted to add that I was skeptical about using the chest strap with the monitor - I thought it would be uncomfortable, but I found it was quite comfortable. After you put it on, and adjust the strap properly, it's easy to forget you have it on, especially when you're working out. So again, a very good buy, and you can't beat the price - I'm going to have to check out Omron's pedometers as well...
 I really wanted to like this heart rate monitor, *but*... March 19, 2010
uncle-buck (Houston, TX USA)
the heart rate readings were erratic and inconsistent. Also, the alarm letting you know when you are outside of your heart rate training zone is barely audible.
The controls are nice, and the transmitter and receiver are very comfortable to wear.
Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros. It's going back to Amazon.com.
works great March 18, 2010

Everyon overthe age of 60 needs one if you want to maintain a healthy life style without damaging that old ticker.
Using this to track allergies March 15, 2010
P. Free (CA United States)
I love this little gadget! It works perfectly for what I need. I am tracking my food reactions and allergies with it and it works like a charm.
I use conductive gel under the electrodes and it always works. I think most people who are dissatisfied with it don't use the gel or water and that's necessary to send the impulse.
I check my resting pulse then eat a suspect food alone and then check the pulse again in a resting state after half an hour and an hour. I have found allergies I didn't suspect this way and cleared foods that I thought were allergies.
Love it, love it!
