See More Deatails:amzn.to The first EKG accurate wireless heart rate monitor was invented by Polar back in 1977 as a training tool for the Finnish National Cross Country Ski Team. The concept of “intensity training” by heart rate swept the athletic world in the eighties. By the 1990s, individuals were looking to heart rate monitors not only for performance training needs, but also for achieving everyday fitness goals. Today, the same concept of heart rate training is being used by world-class athletes as well as everyday people trying to lose weight.

I’m so desperate, I badly need help. So please hear me out…
I am 5’2 and 103lbs.

I feel like an addict and exercising is my drug! For the past 3 years, I have been managing my weight by writing down everything I eat in a journal. I go to the gym regularly and I’ve had a nutritionist-dietitian since then. Reviewing my journals for the first quarter this year, I was eating a whole lot. Like 1,300 calories to 1,700 calories on weekdays and 2,000-2,500 on weekends. This is normal for me since Asians don’t eat as much. But during these days, I would still manage to lose weight with only a few days of working out at the gym. I was at 93 lbs January 2010.. Then come late July, that’s when I started gaining. I reached 100lbs and that’s when I panicked (because I was never 100lbs since 2007) So what I did was, I started cutting my food intake to only 900-1000 calories a day and doubled my gym workouts in a day. For example, I used to run the treadmill for a hour and do some free weights for 30 mins and still eat 1,300 calories a day. But now, I run the treadmill for an hour, do the elliptical for an hour and walk the treadmill again for thirty minutes!! And yet I wasn’t losing any weight. Being this addict, I use my Polar heart rate monitor almost 24/7. I attach it right when I wake up and remove it only when I need to take a bath or when I’m off to bed. So this gives my a rough estimate of how much I’m burning in an entire day. Back then, when I felt "normal," I could burn 1700calories-2000 calories even without workout. With workout, I could burn 2400-3000 calories in a day. But now, I am burning 800 calories without workout. and 1700 doing an hour in the treadmill and an hour in the elliptical, plus 30 mins of walking!

My question is, am I overtrained? I mean, I guess I am, because I seem to have all the symptoms like amennorhea (for 4 mos already), insomnia, muscle stiffness etc EXCEPT, my heart rate is very low. like 40bpm when am lying down of 50 when sitting. Most of what ive read about overtraining is that, the heart rate goes up.

Another question is, if an overtrained person tries to recover by resting for a few days or weeks, does this mean that he/she will gain weight in the process?

Please please please… I just BADLY need some answers…

I have 7 weeks and 7kg to lose until i meet my goal weight.
I am 62kg or 137lbs.
I am 16yrs old.
I am 160cm or 5’2.5".
Using a Polar heart rate monitor everyday I burn on average 2000 – 2100 calories a day because I lead a reasonably active lifestyle and do regular exercise. I understand I need to eat a minimum of 1200 calories a day. If I eat 1200 calories and burn 2200 calories (during the time I wear my HRM which is 8am – 9pm). Will I lose approximately 1kg or 2.2lbs a week? I want to do this the healthy way. Would this put my body into starvation mode? If I follow this will I be sucessful? What changes can or should I make to this?
Thanks

Thank you in advance for reading all of this

Firs things first: Im a 22 year old male, just shy of 6′ tall, and weigh about 227 pounds depending on the time of day. I suffer from panic attacks, but I have recently gotten them under control. On with the question.

I am planning on attending the police academy in september so I have started exercising again. I used to be in pretty good shape about 3-4 years ago (180 lbs and running 3 miles a night), but I really let myself go. So, because of my lack of exercise for that last couple of years, Im trying to take it slow in the beginning. However, I can’t afford to take it TOO slow because I need to get in shape within a few months.

My routine as of now starts out with a 5 minute power walk to warm up, then alternating between 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of power walking. I set my goal for 20 minutes, on top of the 5 minute warm up, so 25 minutes total. However, I am having problems. After about the 3rd or 4th cycle of 60/90, I can barely keep up the jogging. I start skipping the 60 second jog cycle and just keep power walking. I wear a polar heart rate monitor while exercising, and during the jogging cycle my HR gets up to 200+. Tonight it got up to 203 max. So, my question is: Is 200 bpm + unsafe? Should I not work my heart as hard as I have been?

One last note: since I suffer from panic disorder, I always think something is wrong with my body. My doc understands this and sent me to get a stress test done just to appease me. They took an ultrasound of my heart and hooked me up to an EKG while having me exercise on a treadmill. They said besides me being totally out of shape, my heart is ok. But, just because I don’t have any heart problems, doesn’t mean something can’t go wrong? Right?
Edit: I usually take a second before I start my exercise to sit down and get my "resting" heart rate. It is usually around 70-75 bpm. If I really try to relax and take long deep breaths I can get it down to sub 70 bpm.

Hello, yesterday I decided to measure my heart rate during ice hockey training. It turns out that during a 1.5 h training session my average heart rate was 169 bpm and the maximum was 205 bpm. I used a polar heart rate monitor and the highest heart rate zone is set to around 175 bpm. Am I training at a too high intensity? When we played scrimmage, my heart rate went up to 185-200 bpm, and during shifts I recovered quickly to around 130 bpm. I would be grateful if anyone could shift some light on this data for me.
Thanks!!
Oh, and my age is 28.

I currently use a polar heart rate monitor for tracking calories burned while working out. I would like to track calories burned all day with a bodybugg but not if I can’t just track my progress on my own. Do you need to have a subscription to the website or is that just an extra option?

I already have a Polar Heart Rate Transmitter Belt, but I can’t find any Polar receivers wrist watches online for a reasonable price! I’m talking 40 dollars…?

Thank YOU.

I’m looking for a treadmill. The problem is I want one with very specific features and so far haven’t found one that even comes close.

1. Something Sturdy – I wan’t one that doesn’t feel like I’m going to break it when I run.

2. One that goes up to at least 12 mph – the ones at the gym stop at 10.

3. Polar Heart Rate Monitor

4. Nice big buttons.

does any one know if polar heart rate monitor watches are sold in stores or if you can only buy them online.. and a place to get the best deal?

I am trying to track my calories burned in a fitness class, but I’m new to this Polar Heart Rate Monitor…I got it to read my heart rate, but how do you know how many calories you are burning?

PLEASE HELP!

I have a polar heart rate monitor that I’ve been using for runs. I recently decided to do more treadmill running to avoid the icy roads, and accidentally wore my heart rate monitor’s watch, even though most treadmills (including the one I was on) will read the monitor for you and display on the screen.

While I was running I noticed that my watch the and the treadmill had different readings. At one point my watch said my HR was 167 and the treadmill read 140 or so. If you’re trying to stay in certain zones this is a relatively big discrepancy. On some of the tempo runs I noticed they both seemed to agree what 175 bpm was, but anything lower than 170 and there appears to be a discrepancy. Is this normal?

I have a Polar HR monitor.

Thanks!
Sorry – I should have clarified. I was alone at the gym when this happened. I considered the discrepancy was due to other runners at the time, but after I was the only one around and it still did it, I figured it was something else.

I used to have a RHR of 75-90bpm. I have been doing aerobic exercises (treadmill, elliptical, stepper) at least 2 hours a day for the past month. Does this mean that my heart rate has slowed down because my heart is now stronger? Or that only goes for long time athletes?

Checking my Polar heart rate monitor, I used to burn 2,000+ calories with or without workout. But now, I need to do about 4 hours of aerobic exercise just so I could reach 2,000 calories. Just yesterday, I was walking around the mall the entire day and I only burned 800+ calories because my heart rate was only 75 tops. Is this normal???

hi ive recently bought a polar heart rate watch and monitor, i am 17 , i was watching my heart rate and it was at 74bpm resting and it shot up 192bpm, is that ok or bad, could it have been a fault maybe in the watch? thanks for answers

Okay, I’m a 31 year old male … I weigh 185 pounds, and am six foot even. I normally go for 8-12 mile runs three times a week, and I run anywhere from a 7:30-8:30 mile pace.

My question is this … I was just reading about Target Heart Rates, and Anaerobic vs. Aerobic heart rates levels. I’ve used a Polar heart rate monitor for the last year or so, and I stay in the 155-167 bpm range during my runs (my ‘average’ bpm for a workout is 165). According to what I’ve been reading apparently this is not good for me … I am only supposed to go above 80% of my THR (152) for short periods. Is this right? Is it bad for me to stay at around 165 bmp for over an hour?

Is this safe to sustain this for more than 1 hour? I am trying to condition my heart to become healthy. I am using a Polar heart rate monitor rs300x. I know the reading is accurate. I average 183 bpm. I want results fast hence the motivation to push myself. My goal is to be fit after 6 months of conditioning.
I’m progressively adding 1 minute of extra time each day of my running routine session.

My weight: 180
My height: 5 feet 7 inches
My age: 26
My diet: extremely balanced, moderate, and I include lots of variety.
My speed: 3.7-3.9 miles per hour according to the treadmill reading
My incline: 2.0
My motivation: I just became a licensed massage therapist and I realize I need to shape up if I want to have the energy to work 5 hour shifts of back to back sessions with clients. Also my end goal is to be fit enough to endure a double shift ( 10 hours worth of clients)
comments: I drink Gatorade at the gym & water when I’m at home. I sweat a lot during my exercise and often I have a small towel drenched from wiping my eyebrows down. I am considering bringing a 2nd headband to wrap around my forehead because the first one becomes saturated after 50 minutes.
update: I started using a treadmill with mini fans blowing air to my face which seems to help my body keep cool. Sweating less now.
I started exercising on a regular basis for the first time a couple years ago ( age 24). I have always been extremely unfit and overweight for my height. (5 foot 7 I’m 180)
This year is when I first started to implement a persistent hardcore serious exercise routine.

I am relatively new to working out and I like running on the treadmill for a good cardiovascular push. I run at about 6 mph for 30 minutes, but I bought a polar heart rate monitor because I wanted to monitor myself. I found out I was way above my 85% of max heart rate, is this okay? At age 32, I should have a max heart rate of 188 and 85% of my max heart rate is 160. I’m usually running at 170-175, but feel fine. I know if I push to 7 mph on the treadmill, I get winded quick. Is this okay to run at this heart rate?
So far thanks, I’m not sure if it’s important – I use a Polar Heart Rate Strap to monitor my heart rate.

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 have a Polar heart rate monitor that I use for cycling. When I ride or do spin class, the calories burned on the watch is different than the calories burned when I upload the information to the desktop software. For example, a spin class may show 1,000 calories burned on the watch, but when I upload the data it shows 600 calories burned. Why is it different?

I am looking at buying a Polar heart rate monitor. I have a choice between two.
The F4 or the F6. the F4 is 9.00 and the F6 is 9.22.
(both come with chest strap. But these are just pics of the watches)

F4

F6

btw I want one that tells me my above/below zone, calories, diary, watch, date, timer etc.

So which one would be better?

Calories. nutrition, fitness gurus help needed.?
Hi. I am 20 years old. 177 pounds. I am 4 months post partum. I was 226 pounds when I started. I lift 4 times per week and do cardio 5 days per week. I use a POLAR heart rate monitor and it says I am burning 700-900 calories per workout. I usually lift and do 5 sets. reps are as follows. 12,10,8,6,12 then superset with a second exercise for the same muscle. I do upper/lower body splits made mostly of compoud exercises. I am currently eating 1780 calories with a 40/40/20 macro split. I eat very clean. When I began my new eating regimen I started with 2100 calories, nothing happened then I dropped it again 200 calories gained 8 pounds. Then I recently switched to 1780 and I dropped 10 pounds! The 8 + the 2! I just want to make sure I am not burning too many calories and I am fueling up enough to continue losing weight. I was losing great until June then I hit a wall. Stuck with it just changed my diet numbers again and bam I dropped. I am not looking to be a certain weight or size by a certain time, I just want to make sure I am doing this the right way and making progress
clean eating. no refined sugar, no alcohol, whole grains, veggies, low gi fruits, I always have breakfast and my other 5 meals throughout the day. Its not very hard or limiting. I make the food I like but cleaner. It response to snowboard, I know fat doesnt turn into muscle but you still have to build muscle to burn more calories. You don’t have to do a ton of mindless cardio to lose weight it is a good balance of aerobic and anaerobic activity. I enjoy lifting and I will continue to do it. Also not sure if I added I do a ton of body weight exercises and pilates. Push ups, pull us, dips etc. I try to change my workout all of the time and always looking for a new challenge. I am very educated in fitness, I am just having trouble getting my calorie numbers right.
I changed up to upper/lower split 2 weeks ago. Prior to that I was working different body parts on different days bad idea. My strength shot through the roof but not much of anything else. The upper/lower split is from BFL but the diet is not from the zone diet. I looked it up and the Zone is less carbs, more fat. Any other suggestions calories wise? Anyone know how many calories they burn per workout?

I just purchased a Polar heart rate monitor and went out for the first time. My goal here is to lose weight, the monitor has my "zone" is between 135-155 bpm based on what I put into the monitor.

Three questions:
1) I’ve read that a lower range (for me 118-133) would burn about 85% from fat. For losing weight what should I do?

2) After a 1 hour run/walk and staying within my "range" for 50 mins of that time it said I burned 890 calories and 45% from fat. How accurate is that?

3) I’ve read on some websites that it takes 30 mins at this range to just start burning fat; is that true? Can you run faster to start to reduce this time?

Stats:
Age – 24
Sex – Male
H – 5’10"
W – 240 lbs
Resting – 74 bpm
Calculated max HR – 196 bpm
