Heart rate monitors

[Veronica]

1. When you're just wearing it, should your heart rate stay steady or does it go up and down. I have a pretty high resting heart rate (around 80) but if I'm just sitting there, the monitor jumps between 71 and 88 or so. Is this normal, my body, or a bad monitor?

I think it's normal. Mine does it too. Although a spike is usually associated with doing somethng - even just lifting an arm.

2. Where do you put the strap in relation to your bra?

My strap goes right underneath the bottom part of my bra. I use the bra to kind of keep it in place.
