Post-ablation exercise - need recommendation on heart monitor/pedometer watch

[Jannie411]

Hi.....

I'm getting back into exercising after my ablation and I'm looking for a combo heart monitor/pedometer watch that isn't too difficult to program or too expensive.  Does anyone have any suggestions on what brand / type would be good?  It doesn't necessarily have to be a women's watch....I would use a men's watch if it has the right features.

Thanks,
Jannie

Curmudgen.......I want this because it's the easiest way to know how many calories I've burned during the day, and how many miles I've logged.  Might as well have the heart rate monitor too, since it's a nice feature to have.  I have a treadmill, but plan to do some hiking outdoors too.

Claytex - thanks for the recommendation -- I'll look into Academy Sporting goods tonight.  Much appreciated!

Not sure exactly what all you want ... but I got a pulse rate watch at Academy Sporting goods that wasnt expensive... They have a big selection of all kinds of exercise and health type watches ... never saw so many different kinds... most were very reasonalbe ....

Just curious why you need this.  Pulse for 15 seconds x 4 works for me and unless you need to monitor your BP during exercise a regular manometer to check your resting BP is all you need.  If you need a recommendation the cardio rehab unit should be able to give you one.
