Heart Rate Monitors… any advice?

I’m looking to get a heart rate monitor and honestly am a little overwhelmed with the amount of them available. It seems that Polar and Timex are the leading companies but I wanted your opinions. Have you used one? Did it give you accurate data?

Basically I understand the value of intensity training, i want a monitor that gives you accurate readings and i would rather not pay 9. If you have used one that is user friendly, accurate, and affordable please let me know!

I’m still working on getting back my six pack, this is one of my most important goals this year. I’m really serious about this, but when I heard about Domino’s New Pizza a few weeks ago I wanted to taste one. I finally did last week, it was great so I had to do a review too! The Pizza: As a whole, the pizza tastes great! It has a great flavor, and its hardy! (Can I say hardy about pizza?) The Cheese: I don’t really taste the difference in the cheese, but they said that it is 100% real mozzarella with a hint of provolone. Personally it tastes like average pizza cheese to me. Better than my local grocery stores pizza, but no better than Papa John’s The Sauce: The sauce is tangy, I know that’s not the best description but try this, It makes my mouth water when I think about the taste. The Crust: On the box they use the words “upper” crust so lets talk about that first. I love it It reminds me honestly of the bread sticks I get from Pizza Hut. That garlicy, buttery, flavory, savory taste. The Under Crust?: The crust on the bottom taste good too. The only thing I don’t like about it is that gritty, salt like substance. I think they use that so the pizza does not stick. Do all pizza places use that stuff? What is it? I can deal with it. I just don’t like it! Over All: The pizza gets a 9 out of 10. Out of the pizzas I eat here in Cincinnati: LaRosa’s, Pizza Hut, Papa John’s, Store Bought, and Domino’s. Domino’s is 2nd Pizza Hut 1st, Papa John’s, LaRosa’s, store bought! If UNO’s

I don’t have a heart rate monitor on my exercise bike and my max beats per minute is 201. I’m gonna do interval training so i need to be able to go from 60% of my max bpm to 85%of my bpm. That’s going from 130 bpm to 160. I weight about 230 so how can i tell what my bpm is by using the rpms on my exercise bike?

Real world testing and demonstration of the talking heart rate monitor feature of the Time Baby program for Suny PSP. Uploaded by it’s author Art.

I am a 24 year old male, 6′ tall and weigh 180 pounds. I am obviously not obese, but I have lived a rather sedentary lifestyle for the past few years, and I just got over smoking, so I am not in too great of shape. I recently started back at the gym, and one of my goals has been to develop stronger lungs and to be able to run distances of 3-5 miles. I played sports all through high school, so I know that just because there’s pain does not mean that you should stop, sometimes you have to push through it to get to the next level of fitness. With all that being said…

After 5-10 minutes of jogging at 6 MPH, my heart rate is always 180+. After 10-15 minutes of jogging at that pace I have seen my heart rate as high as 194. Please note, that I do not have a heart rate monitor so I am going off of the gym’s treadmill hand sensor. Everything that I have read says my max heart rate is 220-my age(24), which would be 196. Just how bad is it that I am hitting this point after 10-15 minutes of activity? Is this something that I should push myself through or should I be more cautious? I have also read articles for various activities that suggest you achieve 60% of your max heart rate as well as 80% of your max heart rate, but never something as high as 95%+. Should I be concerned about jogging 20 minutes without a break?

What's the highest my heart-rate should go?

I am currently going to Bally’s Total Fitness Gym. I want to lose 50 pounds. I am 5’2, and weigh 179 pounds. When I get on the machines they tell my my target heart rate is 149. So when I’m working out I feel tha 149 is not doing anything for me. I usually workout and let my heart-rate reach 155 to 160. Some family members tell me I should not exceed the 149 because it’s bad for my heart. Is this true? I workout on the ellyptical for one hour and burn about 650 calories. Does anybody know about heart-rates and what the highest number should be for me? I really want to workout hard, but then get depressed hearing that I’m not doing the right thing. I can’t jog/run on the treadmill because of a knee injury, but I usually raise the incline and I’m fine, but my favorite machine is the stepper/ellyptical (the one that you swing your arms with). I would appreciate any suggestions concerning my hear-rate and or a healthy plan for me to lose 50 pounds by August 2007. Thanks so much!!!!!
I’m 34 years old.

Heart rate when increasing intensity?

I recently bought a heart rate monitor for running and have noticed an oddity in my heart rate when picking up intensity on a long distance run, 5km and up.

Say I run a 1:38 for first few laps, then I cut it down to 1:33 for the next subsequent laps. What I notice is that my heart overreacts at first and then stabilizes. It jumps from 158 to about 168 and then comes down to 162. Then say a mile later I increase it to 1:29 laps, my heart rate will spike to like 175 and then stabilize to around 169. Is it normal for the body to react this way to a gradual increase in resistance? What is physiologically going on that is causing this to happen?

Heart rate monitor and exercise?

I am considering buying a heart rate monitor to assist me in my work out routine- I usually am outside on my bike or in the park so I can’t rely on the ones on the machines at the gym.

My question is- does anyone use a heart rate monitor to help them with their exercise? What do you like about it?
Do you think it helps you work out more efficiently and burn more calories?

No lame answers please- thank you

Heart Rate Monitor?

Anybody know where I can buy a heart rate monitor for my horse (the kind you use when riding)? I have looked on ebay but I can find anything, anybody know of any websites etc that sell them?
thanks

I exercise 5 times a week doing 50 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training. Lately I’ve been using a heart monitor and have been surprised to find that I can easily push 180 bpm without feeling overly tired or out of breath (I can carry a conversation). I’m 36 years old so that means that my MHR should be 184 but that’s only if I’m traning anaerobically (which I don’t want to) So for the past week I’ve reduce the speed (which has come to walking on the treadmill instead of jogging) in order to land in the 150-160 range. My question is, if I’m trying to lose weight, should I continue on this range? (even if I get bored to death walking) Is there a good way to train to reduce your MHR?

Heart Rate Training Garmin Forerunner 305

Demo video on how to setup a heart rate workout using a garmin forerunner 305. For this video I’m using a forerunner 205 since the menus to setup the workout is the same as the 305. Note that the 305 comes with the HR monitor (strap) and has the extra settings for heart rate. Also the 305 uses zones based on your max HR, and does not include your resting HR to determine the zones, unlike the 405. You can also use Garmin Training Center to customize your zones.

Forerunner 110 – Heart Rate

Find out how to use the heart rate monitor with your Forerunner® 110.

I recently purchased a Polar Heart Rate Monitor for about 0. I inputted my age, weight, height, and gender.

I just finished trail biking 12 miles in 1 hour and it said I burned 598 calories (it only calculates using heart rate not based on the activity I am doing.) However, when i use an online calculator, it says that I should have burned 985 calories for 60 minutes of trail biking based on my age and weight. So, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me which calorie burning measurment would be more accurate.

I can’t think of anything besides temperature which we already tested. Or like fitness, but that’s not an environmental factor.

Would things like PH affect the heart rate? Or am I totally off? Could someone please give me some good idea?

Thanks in advance =)

Is my resting heart rate okay?

As I grow older, I’m paying more attention to symptoms in my body. I’m 44 years old and have been monitoring my heart rate and blood pressure, for instance. My 3 day resting average is 70 (72, 72 and 66 today). I would consider myself in "below average" fitness level, because I’m obese (but working on it). I saw this chart that says for someone in below-average health my age, a normal resting rate is 76 o 82. Should it concern me that my average is 70?
