testing the cardiovascular fitness of smokers vs. nosmokers. by checking their pulse rate after rigiorous exercise. You take the resting heart rate, have them exercise then have them check their pulse in minute intervals to c how long it would take for their pulse rate to return to its resting pulse rate

People are suprised when i say i burn 1200 in 2 hours of exercise. They say it should take me longer. NO!. I use a heart rate monitor so i know the numbers are right.

I run 5.5 mph for an hour then i do the elliptical machine for an hour (http://www.beyondmoseying.com/ect-4000-series-elliptical-trainer.jpg) At the end of my session i ALWAYS burned between 1250 and 1300 calories.

Why are people so surprised? It is easy and possible. You just have to get used to it.

I am looking for a heart rate (pulse) monitor wrist watch that also has somekind of a basal body temperature gauge. Does anyone have any brand name and/or model suggestions?

Basically, i had a bearly a voice but otherwise okay, and stupidly did fitness (namely bleep test, (got 11,3 when i wasnt ill 6 weeks ealier) then did it and got level 11.2-did it on friday) that weekend i was kinda sick with bronchitus, so i went off sports for that weekend, then went to gym and tennis on monday, when i was feeling okay (mild coughing in morning), the following day my ilness was elivated, so i decided i was going to take off sports for the rest of the week (tuesday -friday)

I had a hockey boot camp that weekend, but had still mild caughing in the morning and at night, i participated in everything…

Now monday the following week (still mild caughing at morning and night 1 week later) that my heartrate is sitting on 76bpm (at rest) when 3 weeks ago i took my heart rate and it was 55….

I have to train for hockey, and i wana get my fitness levels very high before our tour (3 weeks time)
I want to have min heartrate for my tour.. but just cant get over this illness.. Surely if im over exerting my heart it will be better than ever when im fully recoverd?

Please shoot me down if im wrong, i want constructive critism, for i know the faults in training whislt ill..

I purchased a MIO motion HRM yesterday. I love that it doesn’t require a chest strap and that it took into account my gender, age, etc. However, the instructions say that it only measures calorie expenditure based on the pedometer. I would like one that measures calories based on HR since running is not my only form of exercise (elliptical, bike etc). Recommendations?

Im using Heart Rate Monitor Polar CX-800 to make tests with the players.

Win a heart rate monitor!

Online calculators estimate my calories burned at between 700-900 calories per 60 minutes on the stationary bike. The bike itself says 200-300. I used a heart rate monitor last night and it gave me a reading of 803 (which is much closer to what the online calculators are saying). So, which one do I believe? The HRM goes off of my heart rate whereas the bike just goes on the amount of miles I’ve gone. I normally do about 24 miles in an hour so it’s pretty vigorous. Any suggestions on which one I should trust? I don’t want to overeat but I certainly don’t want to under eat either (which is what I think is happening since I’ve been calculating my calories based on the bike readings). Any suggestions?

The Schools suppose to send me books to understand what I am learning. Since School is going on, and since assignments is still coming my way, I am in a very stressful manner……

I had a bad foot injury due to the ice from running in the winter.. and I haven’t done ANY exercise since, and I just started yesterday. Surprisingly, I could do 5 miles at a good pace (about at the pace I actually usually run in), and I could do 8 miles fast today.. weird. I actually felt a LOT better and faster in my runs than in the winter (it is about 55 degrees now, compared to 30 degrees in the winter), and I was supposed to get out of shape.

How did I run those miles and why did I not feel out of shape? I used a heart rate monitor thing on my watch, it used to be 45-55 bpm in the winter, and supposedly i’m out of shape according to my heart, since my heart rate is now 60-70 bpm.. yikes
And I would actually be fatigued from running in the winter 95% of the time.. weird

We purchased a 3.3T Horizon treadmill and it has a heart rate monitor on the handles. How long can you leave your hands on the handles to read a true accurate rate, or can you get a wrong read out by leaving your hands on too long?
