The sports bra that also monitors your heart rate

The sports bra that also monitors your heart rate

Thanks to New Year's resolutions, fitness and weight loss is on a lot of people's minds during the month of January.

By February far too many of us have fallen by the wayside, but for any females reading this who are still pounding the pavements or making full use of that shiny new gym membership card, here's something for you.

The Heart Rate Monitor High Impact Sports Bra is a seam free sports bra that not only gives you the extra support you need while doing physical activity, it also monitors your heart rate.

The bra has a an integrated pocket for a NuMetrix™ transmitter which picks up your heart rate from electrode sensors that are knitted into the bra's underband fabric. The transmitter then sends your heart rate data to a special watch that not only displays your heart rate, but can be used as a stopwatch too (it even tells the time!).

The watch and transmitter are sold separately from the bra - which means you can buy a new bra when you need one or a second bra and use the same watch and transmitter.

The bra comes in three sizes and costs £19.50. The watch and transmitter cost £39.50. They are available online from Marks & Spencer.
