Looking for a new fitness gadget to keep you motivated during your workouts?

This super cool NuMetrex Heart Monitoring System ($99) — which includes a watch, transmitter, and sports bra — should do the trick. The coolest thing about the system is that the sports bra features textile heart monitoring sensors that are knit directly into the fabric. The high-tech sensing fabric picks up the heart's pulse and sends it to the compatible watch or cardio machine. That's right girls — you only have to wear a sports bra, no chest strap!

I've told you how much I love NuMetrex's fabulous heart rate monitoring sports bras, but I just found another reason to love them even more.

In honor of American Heart Month, they've designed a limited edition red NuMetrex bra ($49.50). A donation of $5.00 from the sale of each bra will go to the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women program. Buy it directly from the NuMetrex site.

So go ahead and get yourself one, it's now a matter of the heart.

Get Your Butt in Gear: Heart Rate Monitoring Sports Bra

Some people are against wearing a heart rate monitor while they workout because they feel it would be annoying to wear the strap around your lower chest. While I feel zero discomfort whatsoever wearing my strap, you may want to try going strap free.

The NuMetrex Heart Rate Monitoring Sports Bra ($49.50) works with the Polar WearLink Transmitter and compatible watches. It also connects with most fitness machines like spinning bikes and elliptical trainers with integrated monitoring devices.

The NuMetrex Heart Rate Monitor Sports Bra gives you the power of a heart rate monitor with the freedom of strap-free wear. Buy one on Numatrex.com.
