I just got a heart rate monitor last week to help me out for my running and cycling training.

What do I do when I have to do intervals (eg. 3 mins at a faster pace then 3 mins at a slower pace).

Because the heart rate takes a while to get up to the higher bpm and then come back down, like a lag in time sort of thing.

Should I just do intervals based on percieved exertion of how hard I’m going?

www.heartratewatchcompany.com Heart rate monitors, GPS watches, and bike computers are all wonderful tools to measure your activities and improve your fitness. Get started improving your fitness today!

I have a Polar CS200 (speed, cadence, and heart rate monitor). But I found that it can be kind of difficult to actually see my heart rate while I’m riding. I would also like to get a heart rate monitor for while I’m running. I would like to get one that doesn’t need a chest strap an one that is waterproof/resistance and a time function. Does anyone have one they could recommend?

Am looking to buy a pulse heart rate monitor watch, will it help me lose weight?

So I am almost 10 weeks! (9wks5days today) and my clothes don’t fit but I am 2 small for maternity clothes. Do you have any suggestions?! I don’t want to spend a bunch of money on a new wardrobe ill only wear for like 2 months. I would rather have hubby save it for maternity clothes or the babys clothes! u know?! Cuz the inbetween phase isn’t that long.

**also 2nd question!! Last sono babys heart rate was 171. Im almost 10 weeks am I out of the danger zone yet. My dr told me the chance of having something bad happen is not zero but close. He has been watching me very closely. I get a scan every week?? **

Thanks girls!!!!!!<3<3
I get a scan every week bc I have a subchorionic hematoma (blood clot) and they just want to monitor it and also I have a tipped uterus and they want to make sure its growing properly. He said he just wants to make sure everything is perfect. (he knows I have anxiety….BAD!) lolll!!!

i am a 15 year old athletic male. i am 5’7" and weigh 145 pounds. my football coach recommended us getting a heart rate monitor to keep us safe. so i bought one off of ebay. my heart rate watch says my pulse is 180. we do high intensity interval training for 3 minutes, then we have a rest for 30 seconds.

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?

i’ve recently started exercising and i want to start increasing intensity and i want to keep track of my heart rate. some people suggested i just take my pulse myself but sometimes it is very hard to find, sometimes its even hard for the doctors to find it. anyway these people then suggested getting a heart rate monitor. so i wanted to know if anyone can recommend a good heart rate monitor or a site i can go to that will have a nice variety to chose from.
thanks

Andrew Hooge, author of FitSkiing, performs an on-mountain review of the GPS enabled Garmin wrist-top computer.

I bought the Nike triax C8 HRM watches abt 3 years back, but i only use the HR function for less than 20 times (i think). Recently i started using it for training and it doesnt work well, on and off constantly. So i thought it was the battery problem, but after i changed the battery it doesnt work as well.
how can i fix this ?
The warranty period was over, can i sent back to them repair ?

beside, they selling the heart rate monitor strap separately ? mine was loose.

Features I Like About the Timex T5H881 Zone Trainer Digital Heart Rate Monitor www.digitalsportwatches.com

www.heartratewatchcompany.com This is truly the most incredible runner’s watch we’ve ever tested. It’s the only watch that advises you on stride improvement, which is huge! All the great Polar heart rate features, wireless data transfer and Polar Pro Trainer software analyzes your training sessions. If you are serious about hitting the next level then you should own a Polar RS800sd.

Our heart is an amazing organ. It tells us stories. Wearing a heart rate monitor is like having a personal coach beside you, giving you vital guidance and interpreting your training performance. By listening to your heart, you train smarter, not harder.

I wanted to buy a watch with a heart rate monitor but i dont want to have to put on a strap around my body. Couldnt it just sense the heart rate around the wrist?

If there are any watches which dont need straps, are they much more expensive?

Thanks

When I wear a heart rate monitor all day long and it tells the amount of calories burned, are those calories that i burn on top of my BMR? I thought that BMR is if you were laying in bed with no activity what so ever – just to keep you alive. So the calories burned while excercising and walking around during the day are calories on top of my BMR? i need help?!

i really didn’t want to ask on here but there’s no one else to turn to really, um im constructing an experiment and the aim is

"To test which Energy Bar gives you the highest heart rate?"

and each participant does exercise after one hour of consuming the bar. Then the pulse is measured every 10 mins for an hour, for one minute.. with a stop watch. The bars get weighed the same size so its fair anyway im just really stuck with the variables can anyway one please help i really appreciate it..

Independent Variables:

Dependent Variables:

Control Variables:

thanks very much =]

I need a heart rate monitor watch that will monitor my heart rate consistently (and preferably alert you when you are too high/low). I am not using this for just exercising, I am using this for POTS, a medical condition that I have. I think that ones with the chest strap are more effective.

Does anyone know of any specific models that do this?

Please feedback would be greatly appreciated!

www.heartratewatchcompany.com The Polar FT60 Heart Rate Monitor is like having a personal trainer on your wrist with the Polar Star Training Program. It tells you how hard to exercise and adjusts your intensity. You can also combine it with GPS devices to get speed and distance outdoors.

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

How accurate do you think the heart rate monitors are on Precor ellipticals in gyms? I work out on the ones with the sensors on the handle bars and the "ski arms." I want to work out in my target zone, as I think I’ve been "over doing it" alot. Do you think these sensors are as accurate as a chest-belt version HRM?

Hi. I’m looking for a heart rate monitor, but I’m a little unsure as to what I should buy. My problem is that I don’t really need anything with a pedometer- most of my training is done on skis or on a boat/erg, so the distance settings are no good for me. I would, however, like the watch to be able to measure my own personal "zones" and tell me when I am in each one. I don’t need too many bells and whistles- since I have coaches, I don’t really need the personal trainer. I just need to be able to keep track of when/how long I am in each of my zones (zone 1, zone 2, etc.). Any advice would be great. I’m fairly lost.
