If you're looking to lose stubborn body fat, you'll want to keep a close eye on your heart rate to make sure it stays "in the zone." That's why I like the simple, wrist-worn LifeTrak C200 Core — it adds pulse tracking to the basic suite of data collected by other, inexpensive fitness monitors. It will even factor your pulse into calculations of calories burned, allowing it to come up with more accurate estimates than the competition.
The LifeTrak Core C200 is a stand-alone device and does not connect to your smartphone or tablet. You can get yours in white or black with a wide range of available strap colors (e.g., pistachio, orange). It's currently available for purchase on Amazon.com for $48.
