As you guys know, I haven’t been doing any crazy exercise like insanity, tababta, or any jumping around, but I can still move my booty!
I do like to know HOW much I moved my booty too, especially now that I am expecting a little one on the way! I want to make sure I fuel enough for how much I burn and it’s fun to see the results from a workout!
Thank you Polar FT40 HRM!
I have never owned a polar hrm and was excited to try this when I got picked to participate in this program through FitFluential!
Details on this FT40 Heart Rate Monitor
* Energy Pointer tells you if the main effect of training is fitness improvement or fat burning.
* Measures your aerobic fitness test at rest and tells progress
* Displays calories burned
* Comfortable fabric transmitter and coded heart rate transmission to avoid cross talk
The strap is pretty comfy, I had no issues with it, but worried as my bump grow I will! I did find this AWESOME new bra from lululemon that is specifically for HRM’s! This bra has a built in snap!
I am loving this HRM especially during pregnancy since I want to make sure I am staying in my targeted heart rate zone. Very important during pregnancy to stay in the safe zone and not go beyond it!
I took my heart rate monitor out for a spin on a good power walk around the neighborhood!
Results from my walk….
Not bad at all! Who says a good walk can’t do you good? 
I am excited to use this again, with a weight session this time! I just downloaded a fit pregnancy app that has weight exercises fit for pregnancy and I am going to test out my polar with that too!
If you want an awesome fitness gadget, this is the one to get! New year is coming and you may have some new fitness goals, this could be an awesome tool to have!
Polar rocks 
Healthy Diva Asks…
Do you own a Polar HRM or any HRM?
Do you find it really helps motivate you or just helps you track your fitness better in general?
**I was given the chance to try this Polar HRM as part of the fitfluential ambassador program, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

How are you not wearing more layers?? I’d be wearing a ton if I lived where you do :p
Oh I wore a big down coat too!
I really want to try the Polar HRM!! I have one for my Garmin but that’s just for running. Boo! I like the looks of the polar, too – super cute!
I need one! It is some serious motivation. I would try to beat the calories all the time haha
Yes it rocks!
I’d love a heart rate monitor. I was only thinking today how much calories am I burning doing barre type workouts instead of my usual intense Insanity style cardio.
I have the exact same Polar HR Monitor (different color) & am extremely pleased with it. And too funny I saw that Lulu bra the other day, it’s genius & is for sure going on my wish-list
I love my polar monitor too! It’s been SO helpful with my fitness journey. PS I have the same one as you:)
YAY! Twins
I love my polar. I do find i look at it half way through group ex classes & think “i need to work harder” Also it can help me to stay in control & slow down, when my heart rate hits 180, i know i need to calm down
Yes, love the heart rate monitor, very good for me especially when pregnant!
so so happy for you. Haven’t said congrats yet, but makes me smile even more when i read your blog now
I have the Polar FT7 and I can’t imagine not working out with it now, I love trying to beat the burn from the day before.
I am a huge Polar fan. I’ve owned three different Polar HRM models total, the FT40 being the most recent (early x-mas present) that I’ve gotten. I LOVE, love, love it. I like to know how hard I’m working & how many calories I burn. It’s helpful to track my fitness level too.
So fun! I have never used a heart rate monitor before but I’d definitely be up for trying one sometime!
I want one of these SOOO badly!! It would be so fun to have something reliable (and easy) to use when working out.
I have never used a HRM before. During my pregnancy I focused on RPE. My dr stated this was more important to focus on RPE vs heart rate since there can be so many varying factors for your heart rate.
I’m getting this polar too and it’ll be my first hrm! I’m excited to try it. And that is one expensive sports bra lol
What an amazing opportunity! I need one asap!
I got the Polar FT40 too and I absolutely love it! I used it for a run and while playing a dancing wii game I was so surprised with the numbers! It will definitely keep me motivated!
