I've been doing the gym thing for awhile now and after losing 30 lbs, I'd like to start getting more serious about the effectiveness of my time there. I've been using a hand-me-down bathroom scale and no real "work" monitoring, so maybe it's time to upgrade. Do these monitors really work? Are there any specific brands I should be looking at? Are chest straps really the only accurate technology out there? Are they worth the cost?

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
