NuMetrex Clothing and Heart Rate Transmitters Part #1

I just love my Polar F6 Heart Rate Monitor, if you haven’t heard me say that before. This has really helped me keep on track of calories in/out. This is so important if you’re really trying to lose weight and get fit.

With a Polar Heart Rate Watch you receive a chest strap with built in transmitter to send a signal of your heart rate to your watch (or any gym equipment with a built in heart rate monitor system). This strap goes on under your existing sports bra or whatever you are wearing. Not quite the same hassle for you boys, but nonetheless, you can feel this tight strap around your chest while working out. It’s worth a little discomfort to be able to get a great reading of your calories burned. And I highly recommend this system……But…..

I have found something better and more comfortable to use along with your watch. NuMetrex offers clothing with special sensing fibers sewn directly into the material so you don’t have to use a separate heart rate monitoring strap. Ladies, they have a great sports bra by Adidas, which I found to be extremely comfortable. And guys, they didn’t forget about you. NuMetrex clothing also offers tanks and cardio shirts, allowing you to be free from your chest strap as well. (See photo of mens and womens tanks below).

Each piece of clothing has a small pocket inside of the front chest area of the clothing, with two snaps. Simply snap on your NuMetrex transmitter to start sending the signal.
One feature I really like about this is by snapping or unsnapping, you have a quick ability to turn on and off your signal, saving battery life. With the regular heart rate strap, as soon as it’s wet and on your body, it’s working until you remove the entire unit.

With NuMetrex clothing and the NuMetrex transmitter, you can wear the clothing out to the gym or wherever you may be heading for a workout and snap the transmitter on just before you are ready to blast off some fat.

If you have a job like mine, where you can take a break and go for a walk, you can easily wear your sports bra/tank/cardio shirt under your work clothing. Then just before your walk, quickly snap on your monitor, get the strips wet, and off you go. I walked this huge hill twice in one day and burned 80 calories one walk and 87 the next. These are calories I would not have taken into consideration with my at home workout unless I was wearing my monitor earlier in the day.

You do have to take some care when snapping in the transmitter to make sure the clothing is lying flat on your skin and you have enough moisture on the sewn in fibers to get a good read on the watch (or gym equipment). I had a few times where the signal was inconsistent until I got the material nice and flat on my skin. But I believe this is something small and can be learned after just a few tries.

On the Jillian Michaels DVD’s, she has you do lots of superman exercises (lying on your stomach for those of you who aren’t familiar). Even during this maneuver I could barely feel the transmitter pushing into my chest. It’s extremely comfortable.

I highly recommend you use a heart rate monitor if at all possible. I recommend Polar as I have had great results. But I also highly recommend the NuMetrex watches and their clothing line too. I hope to have my husband in a tank soon, and he can tell you about his experience as well. With the right equipment and the right frame of mind, you can accomplish all of your health and fitness goals. I hope to be there every step of the way, making it easier to choose the right food, equipment, and all your fitness needs.

NuMetrex is going to give you an opportunity to win your very own bra or tank with transmitter. Your Happy Hearts.com and NuMetrex are in the process of setting up this great giveaway for you. So look for this spring giveaway coming very soon, in Part #2 of my review.
