What are ways to monitor your heart rate?

I need 2 ways to monito your heart rate other than putting to fingers on your rist orbelow your jaw.

Above my maximum heart rate?

I am 43, 180lbs and have been working out 3-5 times a week for 5 months. I alternate between cardio and crossfit workouts. During my cardio workouts I usually will run on the treadmill for 3 miles if I run at 6.0 mph our less my heart rate stays about 150 per minute or less, if I push the speed up or do sprints etc… my heart rate goes up to at or sometimes above my maximum of 177 but I dont feel like I am really winded or pushing it too hard. Should I be going above my max or just pay attention to how I feel? My goal is to lose fat and increase overall fitness.

Is my heart rate healthy?

In aerobics, my teacher made us wear heart monitors, and the goal was between 135-180, all of us being juniors-seniors. We switched from muscle to cardiac exercises. But for awhile I was at like 205 once we got on treadmills, and used the step aerobic thingy. Im seventeen, so is it better to have a low heart rate but still doing a goodworkout, or a high heartrate with a good workout?
well with the heart rate monitors, it went from 107-119, while i was just standing there. it would beep if I was over 180 or below 135.
i wasnt like, gasping for breathe.
but i could actually feel a workout.
sweating.. not so much. but i felt icky.

Exercise and get your heart rate up

Exercise and get your heart rate up

Our P.E. class used the new school gym for the first time the other day. The majority of the machines have built in heart rate monitors. I was going on the elliptical, and the girls next to me were getting heart rate readings in the 130 – 150s, however even when I was sprinting as moderate resistance, I was getting readings of 89. I asked one of my P.E. teachers, she said the monitor must be broken or inaccurate. When a different elliptical came free I tried on that – it read the same. I was getting seriously annoyed now, I was worried that all of the times I’ve been exercising during the summer I hadn’t been pushing myself far enough.

I then used the treadmill. Running at 6.5mph, I was still getting readings in the 80s and 90s are 10 minutes. I asked another of my teachers, who at first couldn’t believe it, however after watching me just concluded that I had a very low resting heart rate.

She started talking about how I must have a strong heart etc.

I’m a little confused. This can’t have much to do with fitness, as although I am fit, a girl in my class who is uber fit was getting ‘regular’ readings. Is it dangerous to have too low a resting heart rate? What benefit is this going to be of to me in the future, or will it be of any?

Need a good heart rate monitor.?

Okay, so what I’m looking for is a heart rate monitor that sits on your wrist like a watch. I need it to actively show me my heart rate (accurately) and have a battery that I can change out. Price range ~ and the hope that it will not die like many reviews I have read about the Walmart monitors.

Thanks!!

I really want to get a gym membership at the sportsplex but I am very out of shape and obese(200lbs and 5’1"). The sportsplex offers 3 free sessions with a personal trainer with the membership, but I am afraid that I will make a huge fool out of myself during the workout with him/her.

It doesn’t take much to make my heart rate go up to 150-175bpm while exercising, and I’m afraid that it might be too high…I really want and need to lose weight, but am embarrassed to go to a gym.

The personal trainer does 3 sessions of circuit training, what will that involve? Am I too fat to work out at a gym and what are some tips for working out in the gym when you are overweight?

I also love the stationary bike, if I do 30 minutes of that 3 days a week, will it help me lose weight(while monitoring my calories)?

Thanks so much!

A cardiac monitor is used to measure the heart rate of a patient after surgery. It compiles the number of heartbeats after t minutes. When the data in the table are graphed, the slope of the tangent line represents the heart rate in beats per minute. The monitor estimates this value by calculating the slope of a secant line. Use the data to estimate the patient’s heart rate after 42 minutes using the secant line between the points with the given values of t. (Give your answers correct to 1 decimal place.)

High Resting Heart Rate?

I just go a heart rate monitor over a month ago, and I mostly used it to estimate my calories burned…but I’m starting to wonder if its wrong. My heart rate is high all the time. Just sitting here at the computer its between 90-110…depends how much I move…just moving around organizing papers it will hop up by 10! I don’t get it. I know when I first got it, I wanted to see my resting heart rate, and it was lower around 70…but that was me playing with after I has just woke up…pretty much moved from bed…to couch…if you get what I’m saying. But unless I’m sleeping, it seems to always be very close to 100.

I don’t have any health problems (other than being overweight and out of shape)…but no high blood pressure, no thyroid problems etc.

It says I burn a lot of calories just sitting on my butt. Like 67 calories in a minute…so I’m starting to worry that it is WAY overestimating my calories burned when I’m working out.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks

What about for dogs? Can you monitor their body temperature by monitoring their pulse/heart rate?

Maximum weight loss heart rate zone?

I have been taking cardio kickboxing and boxing at the LA Fitness for 6 months and have not lost weight. I drastically changed my diet by cutting fast food to once a weeks and eating non stop fruits and veggies an lost a pound or two. I take those classes 5 times a week and are vigorous because according to my heart rate moniter I peak at 90% max heart rate. Do I really have to do 50-60% max heart rate to lose weight when I burn more calories at 70-85% max heart rate?!?!?

The data collection technique being used is

archival records
2. psychological testing
3. physiological recording
4. direct observation

Health Insurance Plan — 100% Different From Anything You Have Heard About!?
Here’s a health insurance plan I dreamed up today. I would like to know your thoughts about it. But before you give me your thoughts, please take a moment to read the plan.

Companies stop offerring health insurance.

What they offer instead is wellness programs, which can be on or off company property.

These programs are focused on weight control, exercise, nutrition, and medical monitoring (blood pressure, heart health, obesity, range of motion, pulminary function, liver function — simple blood tests)

No employees are compelled in any way to participate in any way in any company wellness program.

But, those that do, get certificates signed by physicians stating the wellness factors that apply to that individual participant. Kept his weight down, did running, has good heart function, liver is fine … blah blah blah. These would be the kind of certificates that local health insurors would take into account in rating the premiums to be paid by that individual wellness program participant.

Beyond the certificate, and depending upon wellness factors attainments (weight loss, better this, better that etc) the company provides a wellness encouragement award in the form of a check, once every 90 days.

Recipients of such checks can use that cash for anything they want, including time with working girls in Nevada, or rye whiskey, or Cuban cigars.

However if they can present a receipt for a health insurance premium they have paid, for their own selves as beneficiaries of privately acquired health insurance policies (with a little help from the certificate signed by physicians from the wellness program) then, their next award check, if they get one by continuing to make attainments, will be doubled in value. The doubling only happens once. Once a person is getting double-sized award checks they keep getting those checks as long as they keep buying private health insurance, and can show receipts, and as long as they keep making attainments in the company wellness program.

This plan is filled to the brim with justice. It is highly focused on individual responsibility, not just a gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme style system. People whose behavior is cost-containing and good get highly rewarded. All people of every kind are completely free to do anything they want. Nobody is compelled in any way to do anything.

The company gets to set up their wellness program as a charitable educational or health related organization — a 501 (c) (3).

They also get to create a company Foundation — a 501 (c) (6) to give money on a tax deductible basis to the wellness program.

So all the costs of the wellness program become tax deductions, including the fees for the trainers, nutritionists, and the award checks given to employees, either in the single portion amount or in the double portion amount — all those costs are a tax deduction for the company. They come out of pre-tax gross income.

The incentives here are 100% perfect.

The outcome here is that probably 10 million additional people get health insurance — not the full load of 35 million, but a step in the right direction is still a step.

More importantly by dumping a lot of healthy people into the insurance pools, who pay full premiums (some of which is subsidized by their award checks), everybody’s health insurance premiums go down.

Not only that, the average healthiness of the American population goes up.

So more healthy people are paying premiums and there are less sick people who need healthcare.

Less sick people, not only makes premiums go down it also makes our national productivity go up.

How productive we are, in relation to our national debt, determines how long we get to exist as a nation that’s not in default or owned outright by China.

My plan is an extremely good plan — it cuts through all the nonsense and goes straight to the core issue which is health. It properly incentivizes everybody involved. It is 0% coersive — no mandates on anybody.

I’m putting it up here so that a few thoughtful people can read it, think about it, and send me useful comments to make it better, or fix any flaws you see in it. Cynical clowns could just please leave this question alone, I don’t have time to read your snarky junk answers. Persons of goodwill, please come forward, my strength is not equal to my task, I need your help.
For Don:

We’ve got 35 million uninsured with no healthcare.

My plan would knock that down to 25 million uninsured with no healthcare.

So Don, your conclusion using your logical and ethical skills is that my plan is a bad plan.

Unless every single person can be fixed all at once — nobody should be fixed — we should just stay broken — as broken — not any less broken — that Don’s path to success.

My path is called dis-jointed incrementalism. You knock off a piece of the problem.

Then you go back to the smaller problem, and knock off a piece of that.

Repeat as required until problem is gone.

This is how you chop down a tree, break up a huge block of ice, or move a pile of snow.

Many problems in the *real* world are solved by dis-jointed incrementalism.

The only people who need to solve huge problems all at once with one huge law are people who are not in fact interested in the problem at all — what they want is totalitarian power for themselves. Seig .

I am going to get my husband one for valentines day but I know nothing about them. He wants one to use for his workouts. I dont want to spent more then 0. Any ideas??
