I am a 13 year old girl, I weigh 125 pounds (56 kg), and i am 5"4 (1,66 m). About two months ago I started exercising on a treadmill because i want to lose some weight. It tells me the amount of calories I burn according to how fast i run, the inclination, and my heart rate (it measures it if i put my hands in it, which is uncomfortable for running). However, it doesn't take in consideration my age, sex, or weight; it measures the calories I'd burn if i'd be a 30 year old male who weighs 150 pounds. I was considering buying a polar watch to monitor my work. I am considering the Polar F4, the F6, and the F11. Which one do you think is best? Also, will i be able to set i am 13 years old or are those watches only suitable for adults? And where do i have to put the chest strap? Because i read the chest strap of the F4 was specially small for woman (28-40 inches) but im not sure where i have to put it. It won't fit me if i have to put it just under my bra because i only measure 27 inches there. Thanks for your help!!

I highly recommend Polar F11 Women's Heart Rate Monitor Watch
Best HRM I've ever used
I've had alot of crappy HRMs before, but this one has been consistent, and the contacts don't tend to dry out or stop picking up your heartbeat regardless of what you're doing.
The features are great; I specifically bought this one to monitor my calories burned during exercise, and it does that well. The diary is useful, and will even give you a little trophy if you did well with your exercising during the week.

How do heart rate monitors work? I want to see how many calories I burn in Zumba...?
HeatherHil
I have taken up Zumba, a weight training class, and running. I want to know how many calories I am burning when I exercise. I see that heart rate monitors work best... BUT I do not know how to pick them. I want something that will measure how many calories I burn during my workouts and that will tell me if I am at my target heart rate. So what would I be looking for in a heart rate monitor watch? And how do I look for something with my requirements?
I am a 20 year old woman.
Thanks! :)
Answer
A good heartrate monitor will be about $100 or more. Some of the cheaper ones won't tell you how many calories you burned. Also, make sure you get one with a chest strap, the ones without the chest strap are a lot less accurate.
You can find them at any sporting goods store and you should find a wide selection for around $100. Just make sure when you are picking out the one you like that it will report calories (since not all do) and that it has a chest strap and you should be good.
