Hi - I hope someone can answer this question!! I recently purchased a used precor 556 that did not come with the heart rate strap. However, I know it's possible for the machine to display heart rates if I'm wearing the proper chest strap. Can someone PLEASE tell me what strap I need to buy!! Thanks :)
