Definition: A heart rate monitor is a device that, well, it monitors the user's heart rate. It usually consists of a chest strap and a wrist receiver. The chest strap monitors the electric voltages of the user's heart through the electrodes that are on it. At every heart beat, the chest strap sends a message to the wrist receiver, where its computer tells the user data that can help with training (such as current heart rate, cardiovascular fitness level, and training zones).
Also Known As: HRMs
Examples: My new heart rate monitor has a lot of cool functions.
