An HR monitor is cheap and allows you to make sure you are in the right spot during your workout; like a coach on your arm. To build cardio endurance you want to be at the top of your range, to burn fat stay at the lower end. Works well. Kinda like scanning software for your body.

my exercise bike has a HR monitor built in. What is the ideal range though for fat burn? Ive always noticed that on any heart rate monitor on equipment that my rate seems low under 130, very rarely do i see it over that. When i did run, id do 7min miles and sustain that rate for up to 4 miles straight (4 miles in under 30min).
