Hi Trinette - If you go for a Polar product you can buy this sports bra that has a the heart rate sensors in the fabric. That way you can get the accuracy of a chest strap without the discomfort. It's gotten great reviews and you can find it online.

Heart Rate Monitor by: Rod, PhD
Why doesn't anyone mention the OMRON HR-100C
(available thru Amazon) - as low as $35.00.
Been using for nearly a year, and it works great.
Needed to get the heart back in shape after Stent surgery and receipt of a pacemaker.
