Review: Numetrex Sports Bra Monitors Heart Rate...

[IGBT]

The new Numetrex sports bra has the answer: Woven into its fabric are tiny electrodes that can detect heart rate and display the result on a watch.

The bra, made by Textronics Inc. with components from Polar Electro Inc., is easy to use ? just snap a transmitter into a pocket located in the band of the bra, activate a digital watch with a heart-monitor setting and start sweating.

After about five minutes of running, the transmitter picked up my heart rate. If I didn't want to wait those five minutes, I just moistened the inside of the band with water before I started, the same way you would for the kind of plastic monitor you strap around your chest.

Valentines day present? No way. She'll assume you're saying she's fat and needs to put on the sports bra and start running.

While we're on the subject, don't buy her a vacume cleaner. Or anything that actually useful for that matter. You gotta buy her something totally useless and shiney or pretty. If it dies in a week, great. That means you can just buy the same thing again for her next year.
