Heart Rate Monitors

A heart rate monitor is a device that monitors your heart rate for use while cycling, or exercising. We have included some heart rate monitor products on this site because they are very popular for use with a turbo trainer. You can use a monitor to watch your heart rate when training – you can therefore train in zones, or limit the amount of effort you wish to put out.

>> We have a dedicated site with advice about Heart Rate Monitors here

The basic heart rate monitors simply tell you one thing: heart rate. As you pay more the features get more complex, the top end monitors allow downloads so you can discuss your performance with a professional coach or save for future analysis.

Choosing your Turbo Trainer
Many modern turbo trainers look the same - so how do you know which is best for you? Well you need to work out how much to spend. The cheapest we'd recommend would be around £100 - these are standard machines which have decent flywheels, any cheaper and they will rattle and vibrate.

As for features, well if you want to see how you get on - it might be best to go for a cheap one, and if you get hooked upgrade at a later date. If noise is a real problem (i.e. you live in a flat) you'll need to spend some cash on it to get a better model.

If you have the money, you could try a computer setup where you can race others over the internet, even race friends! Good luck!
