To get consistent accurate reading you can get the chest strap for a Polar heart rate monitor and use that instead of the grips. All the big manufacturers have that sensor baked in. You don't have to use the grips and you get more accurate readings. You can buy a replacement chest strap without having to get their watch/software/expensive part. Last time I checked they were $20-$30

<<< Public service announcement for the numbers geeks.
Holding onto the handles made me feel constricted. I don't think a chest strap is going to help with that. lol

I do, however, want to get a HRM that I'll be able to wear on my arm but that's about as constricting as I get.
