Telemetry Straps

[Liz]

Hi!, I recently started working out again Things have changed so much since I last worked out. As
I was on the treadmill I noticed it keeps complaining about wanting a telemetry strap. What is a
telemetry strap? Ive hard of watches that monitor your heart rate and will report it to the
treadmill..I have also heard they can store your workout info and stuff? Any recommendations on what
I can use something cheap for begineers?

I have a low-end Polar Heart Rate Monitor which works fine for its job. It doesn't talk to my
treadmill, though there are brands which will do so.

Liz,

Quality Japanese bikes made in the 1980's can often be found in good condition for very little
money. Besides being much more fun than the treadmill, the bike will be a useful form of
transportation.

This is a bicycling newsgroup after all.
