Heart Rate Monitors and Fat Burning

Progress is his middle name! My heart rate actually topped out at 162, which is the first time I’ve been well into the “athletic conditioning” range for my age, at least according to the little “chart” thing on the treadmill. Never seen it get that high before.

Okay everyone, as I told you I am going to try and dedicate Wednesdays for exercises. So here is a little 10 minute workout you can do while traveling or in your home. Pretty much anywhere. Have fun!Please remember, as with any exercise or workout routine, consult your medical professional(Your Doctor) before attempting any exercises or workouts on my channel. Stay safe and stay healthy. Thanks for watching My Cyber Kittens!!!

Find out how to accurately track your calorie expenditure during activity & exercise with the unique Polar feature, OwnCal. This feature is available on select Polar products. Full transcript: Hi. I’m Chris with Polar USA. Welcome to another installment in our series of Polar Unique Features. Today we’re going to learn about the Polar OwnCal feature. OwnCal counts and displays calories burned in any workout and also measures cumulative numbers after several exercise sessions. The OwnCal calculation is based on several key factors, including individual body weight, height, age and gender, maximum heart rate, and heart rate during exercise. This feature is available on select Polar products. Now we’re going to show you how OwnCal works. Jen will use the OwnCal feature as she works out with her FT40. For more accurate results, Jen performed the Polar fitness test with the OwnIdex feature on her FT40 before she got started. If your unit has the OwnIndex feature, you can find out how to perform that test by viewing our OwnIndex video at www.youtube.com/PolarUSA. Once Jen gets started working out with her Polar FT40, she hits the OK start button twice. Her unit detects her heart rate and she’s off. As Jen works out, she can check her wrist unit to see how many calories she has burned and determine if she is hitting her goal. Jen’s training goal today is to burn 500 calories. The amount of energy expended by physical activity depends on exercise intensity and duration. Body …

Can someone please provide a link or info to a heart rate monitor watch that calculates steps, calories and heart rate with entering in your height and weight? I have a Sportline watch that I bought at Walmart for 0 that doesnt require me entering in my height and weight and I am a little uncertain about the accuracy of the calories burned reading. It uses pulse technology.

The maximum I’m going to spend is 0.
I want a watch that doesn’t require a chest strap.
I would like the calories that are burned to be measured by my heart rate for an accurate reading also one that let’s u set ur weight and height (if possible).
And if possible to track the distance I run accurately.
If anyone has a personal experience with a watch I’m describing, please share:)
Thank you:)

So you just got home with your brand new heart rate monitor and not sure what to do next. Heart rate training can be an important part of any workout program, but like most new training tools if you are not using the tool correctly you could have trouble fully maximizing it. So in this document we pulled together some information and links from PolarUSA.com to get you started. Introduction to Heart Rate Based Training If you are new to exercising, I can almost guarantee you are wondering how much and in which intensities you should train. If you go too hard and you run the risk of burning yourself out quickly. If you go too slow you may not see results. The key is to find the balance between exercise and recovery, and the best way to gauge that is a heart rate monitor. Take a look at the following links to get you started: Intro to Heart Rate Training – bit.ly Structure of A Workout Session – bit.ly Aerobic and Anaerobic Exercise – bit.ly Part of finding that balance is to understand and utilize different heart rate zones based on your personal goals. Polar has a few unique features built into certain training computers that help you find these zones, like Energy Pointer(FT7,FT40) and Ownzone(FT60,FT80). But if you aren’t using these “Own” features you can still take advantage training zones. Calculating Maximum Heart Rate The first thing to do would be to find your Maximum Heart rate(MHR). You have a few different options for calculating MHR. 220 — age is a common …

I’m formerly anorexic, but swung from anorexia to bulimia in the past 18 months. I was officially diagnosed with restricting AND purging type bulimia nervosa on Monday.

I have not, however, binged/purged since the Thursday before getting diagnosed.

Instead, I have been restricting since then – maybe 500-800 calories a day, with almost no sugar.

My parents are out of town and my grandmother is staying with me at my house. My parents just left about 2.5 hours ago on a road trip.

I fainted about 30 mins ago. I was in my room sleeping because I’m tired as hell, and I ran out and down the stairs when my grandmother called me about something. When I got down, I realised I was passing out – I got the telltale lightness, tingling, coldness, fast heart rate, nausea – and having been experienced it all before, I went to sit down on the sofa while playing it cool, still talking to her. Then I just fell over. She thought I was just exhausted and being silly, but then I got up and said, "I think I passed out." She was surprised, but didn’t say much. I just told her I needed to lie down and that I’d get something to eat in a minute. She went to sit in the breakfast room while I lied on the sofa. After about 5 mins, I got up and went to the kitchen to find a high-sugar food to bring me around. I could barely stand. I ended up lying on the kitchen floor while she was facing the other way. After about another 5 minutes, I crawled to the fridge to get the grapes and ate them while lying on the sofa. I finished those and felt a little better. Then I followed up with some high-protein cereal and skim milk. By then I was still cold and tingly, but I could walk. Now I’m just sitting here digesting it all. I still feel light and cold and my heart beat is a little wonky.

Now, my dilemma is whether I should tell my parents or not – for their sake.

If I call now and tell them, they’re just the kind of people that might get so worried that they’d turn the car around right now and come home. Then they’d put me on watch and it’d be horrible for all of us because a) they cancelled their trip b) they’d probably force-feed me, which scares the living daylights out of me c) I’m actually okay right now, so it’d all be in vain

If I don’t call them, but my grandmother ends up telling them later at some point, they might get mad at me for witholding it and not trust me, thus leading to force-feeding and/or them coming home.

If nobody tells them, then I don’t know that there’d be any problems.

I’m very, very medically knowledgeable and aware and in spite of being afflicted with an irrational, illogical mental illness, am still very mature and capable.

All I want to know is what you think is the best decision – tell them immediately, mention it in passing when they call me later, or just don’t say anything?

Please don’t leave mean comments. I’m really struggling here with the whole concept of them knowing about my eating disorder. I got found out against my will and I’m still very conflicted and confused. I’m also sorry if any content in this question offends you; I’m just trying to be very honest and frank and give as much information as I feel necessary.

Thank you.

I’m 17, 5’9" and weigh about 188. I have lost almost 20 pounds in my first month of P90X (if you are wondering if it works, the answer is hell yes) and I have been told by online body fat percentage calculators that I have about 24-25%. I have no idea how accurate they are but they are what I’m basing it on. I didn’t check it before i lost the weight so I don’t know how much lower it is now. So my question is, how long might it take for me to drop it a few percents? I’m eating like 1500 – 2000 calories a day (super clean I might add) and burning a lot with the P90X doubles. I bought a heart rate monitor and it said that I burnt like close to 5000 calories in one day ( I have a very hard time believing that). Not looking for anything exact, just a rough estimation on how long it might take for me to lose some of those points. Thanks in advance guys.

I’m trying to decide what watch will best suit me for my training. I’m a serious runner (75 miles a week) who runs at the collegiate level. Really, I just want a watch that gives me accurate distance, as well as mile pace (every mile if possible), and total time elapsed. I don’t care about heart rate or calories burned, I just want the basics. So between the two brands, which one has these features and is considered more accurate? I guess what I’m trying to ask is between the garmin 110 forerunner, the new nike + sportband, and the old nike gps (goes for ), which one should I get and why?

Thanks!!

This heart rate monitor watch will track the calories you burn and those you eat, all without wearing a chest strap!

I recently bought a Gold’s Gym exercise bike. It’s a nice bike that has 10 levels of resistance, a heart rate monitor, calorie counter, 20 different work outs ranging from 20-30 minutes and other things such as fans and an mp3 player.
I’m a little unsure about the calorie counter though. It usually claims I burn 80 calories in a 20 minute session going from 1-5 resistance on one of their programs, no matter how hard or fast I peddle. The 30 minute one claims I burnt 130 calories using the same resistance no matter how hard or fast I peddle. I would assume I am losing more by peddling faster but the counter does not go any faster. Could I be burning more or less than it claims?

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?

Win a heart rate monitor!

One with a chest strap? Or one that’s just the watch? I really just want to track calories burned during workouts (aerobics, zumba, etc.)

There are so many out there, all with mixed reviews, I just don’t know which to try. I am looking for a HRM that does a continuous rate, that calculates burned calories, and that you can input your age, gender, weight and height. It of course also needs to be reliable. Any suggestions?

Also, my BMR is supposed to be around 1500 calories in one day…which is correct?

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!

I’m 16 years old, 5 foot 11 inches, and weigh 276 pounds. You couldn’t tell from looking at me but that’s beside the point. I want to lose weight and for the past 3 or 4 days have been using an exercise bike. I’ve been doing it for an hour, at the lowest resistance for 20 minutes, one higher the next 20 minutes, and another higher the last 20. And I let myself cool down at the end. I don’t want interval training but I do need to know, is this going to help me lose weight. So far I’ve lost a pound or 2, and yes I’m also watching what I eat. When I do the bike for the hour I lose about 480 calories, which to me is nothing, but I don’t really eat much any more. I don’t starve myself though. And I drink enough water. So I just wanted to know, am I doing it right? My heart rate gets up to 130-132 at the last 20 minutes. Please help.

I’m a 28 year old woman. I weigh 210 pounds. I’m 5’4. I just had my second baby 3 months ago and am still breastfeeding. My target areas are my upper arms and my belly. I have a nice hourglass shape and everything is proportionate. Big chest, thinner waist, bigger butt and thighs. That’s just some opening info.

My question is about how I should be working out. I know my way vaguely around a gym. I’ve worked out before. But I guess I’m still what you call a beginner.

My biggest issue is that I don’t want to "bulk up" with muscle. I want to lose weight. At least till I’m at a reasonable weight and size. Then I might be interested in toning. All around I guess I have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing. Or even what I’m asking here. I guess I’m worried that I will work out too hard and just turn into a female body builder. I’m shooting for a slim body, not a muscular one. But I want to burn this fat and fast! But is it possible to work out too much?

I have the energy to work out a lot. Maybe even twice a day, like an hour a day. I have had only mild soreness each morning, nothing that would stop me. So far I’ve just been doing it once a day, about an hour. I do a small bit of stretching. Just a few stretches of my legs and arms. I get on the eliptical trainer for 30 minutes. I move at a pace that gets me breathing hard and sweating a bit. The machine usually reads my heart rate to be in the cardiovascular workout zone. After that I use a few of the weight machines that target areas I’m most concerned with (abs and arms). I just do a few sets, enough to "feel the burn" but not to injure myself. Then I’m done.

I plan to switch up when I get bored. I can swim at my gym. I enjoy swimming and used to be on a swim team. I also have a Wii and I have the Wii Active fit personal trainer program. So I have a lot of resources available to me.

I’ve been watching what I eat, however, with me breastfeeding I have to "eat for two" or 300 extra calories a day. I have to eat to have a good milk supply and I’m hungry more because of it. Dieting is really a struggle for me, I’m an italian and I love to cook. But I’m doing my best to stay away from fried, fast, sugary foods. I honestly think that’s as good as I get with that. I’m awesome at getting in fruits, veggies and dairy. I love all food, I don’t discriminate. LOL! But any suggestions there would be accepted.

I’m looking for sound advice here from either trainers or people that are very fit. I looked online for any information but it all seemed very generic and not what I was looking for. I’m hoping to get some answers this way. Thanks ahead to anyone who replies!!!

Ok, well first off, a little info: I’m a weightlifter, so I generally don’t do cardio (as in running, etc.), my idea of cardio is HITT or just doing dips until I can’t lift myself anymore

So anyhow, I was lifting Sunday and blew a blood vessel above my eye (80kilo triceps extensions will do that) =/ and so I think it’s best that I take a few days off (it’s swollen and red and sore, etc.) good idea right? Right However, I don’t want to stop going to the gym.

Today I went to the gym and did some light lifting (just 80kilo squats/deadlifts) then got on an eliptical (spelling?) machine…cranked it up to resistance 15 and ran for 35minutes. My heart rate was between 165-175 the whole time, sweating, drank a bottle of water, overall felt like a good workout…however I wasn’t breathing heavy.

I got off the machine, took 5minutes to cooldown, then was like "um…I’m not remotely tired" and I wanted to get back on the machine. However, I’ve heard that anything over 40minutes releases…cortisol? And you really stop burning fat and lose muscle instead…which is why I stopped at 35minutes.

Maybe because I take a lot of supplements (like creatine, l-carnosine, beta-alanine, etc.) for weightlifting my muscles recovered really quickly, because I wasn’t tired or sore, and now I’m back home and I feel bored.

My question (now that you’ve got all this info) is can I do cardio multiple times a day and not burn muscle? Will doing cardio for 30-35minutes then taking a break (however long…which is why i’m asking because I don’t know) then doing cardio again 30-35 minutes have the same fat burning effect, or am I going to start burning muscle?

I eat healthy, lots of protein, all my vitamins, I watch my calories, etc. so diet is 100% and I’m in great shape, I just don’t want to burn muscle…I could’ve stayed on that machine for 2 or 3 hours, but don’t want to lose muscle.

Any help is appreciated. I don’t mind doing cardio 3x a day (morning afternoon night) if it’s practical, I’ve got some fat I wouldn’t mind losing anyway while I heal up.

Thank you for reading all of this! I know I tend to talk a lot.

P.S. Spammers you’ll get reported, so don’t waste your time, or mine. =/
I might reduce the protein intake…thanks for the tip, but how about multiple cardio workouts per day? I think I’m only gonna take a week off from heavy lifting, but in the meantime I’m bored quite frankly
Eric I guess you didn’t read the question…also fiber is non-digestible, it doesn’t burn fat.

Please see what I asked before posting guys? I workout, I am not spot targeting, I’m not dieting…I hurt myself weightlifting and am doing cardio till I recover…but 35minutes is so short and boring and not tiring at all. Can I workout more?

I’m 47 years old male. 5ft 9in. Since November last year, I went from 230 pounds, down to 200 pounds.
I go to the gym, and do cardio exercises for 2+ hours a day, 6 days a week.
I wear a polar ft4 heart rate monitor, and burn on average 1320 calories a day at the gym.
I count my calories, and monitor them at a website. I NEVER consume more than 1500 calories of food or liquids a day.
Since about February 20th, I have been 200 pounds. I have stopped losing weight. How is this possible!?! I have a digital scale, and my weight varies by less than half a pound every day for the last 2 weeks.
As an experiment, yesterday I burned 1466 calories at the gym, in a 2 hour period. My total caloric intake yesterday was 1429 calories. And this morning, I weighed .4 ounces heavier than yesterday!
I know it is not the scale, because my clothes dont feel any looser. What is going on here?!
I eat lots of whole grains oatmeal, beans, eggs, and chicken breast. Admittedly I do not eat enough fresh vegetables, but they are really expensive right now.

I am looking for a strapless heart rate monitor that also tells calories burned. I am doing the P90X workout and want to keep track. It doesn’t have to be fancy and hopefully not terribly expensive. Needs to have the following 3 things:
Strapless
Heart rate
Calories burned.

Thanks!

Ok so right now im 5"10 in height, weight 180lbs, and 21 years old.

My bodyfat percentage is a little under 12% and im trying to get it too 6-8%.

RIght now here is my weight training/cardio schedule… I jog 6 days a week at a low/moderate pace for 6 miles every day. A personal trainer told me id be burning about 60% fat, 1% protein, and 39% sugar at the pace im going at according to heart rate monitors, that sound like the correct zone?

I also weight train 5-6 times a week doing biceps/back, triceps, and chest/shoulders on different days (also abs/legs twice a week).

My questions are, should i always eat when im hungry? I recently just lost about >10% bodyfat (in the past 6 months) and gained mostly muscle (i lost only like 8 lbs lol) and im trying to become a fitness model now! My abs are finally showing (in the right light) and im really happy (never accomplished this before).

Ive been doing cardio all this time with muscle building but it seems the results are REALLY slow and im doing this 100% naturally, so no creatine/andro invovled, just high protein basically.

I just want to know if this routine will work to burn 4% bodyfat, and cause me to gain about 5-10 lbs of muscle. Its just been so slow the past month now and im not really losing much noticeable bodyfat anymore (ya just when my abs start showing). Any advice on what to do differently?

Any helps appreciated and i know this was a long post so thanks in advance!
Jeff, as i do appreciate your answer, its wrong.

While its true your muscles need nutrients to grow… you dont seem to understand the basics of cardiovascular exercise.

Running at 60% of your max heart rate is FUELED 60% by FAT (directly from your fat tissue), its not calories that get burned… so… ya…. you should really stop telling people that.

So for about a good year and a half I have been hard core gym training. I weighed about 160 when I started. I am a 19 year old female who is really trying to lose my last few pounds. I currently weigh give or take 130. I really want at least a 4 pack, but I am having troubles. I am about 5’6 1/2 and I need to loose about another inch or two just in my belly and maybe 2 inches in my back. I watch what I eat, I have been keeping my calories to about 1400. Some days are less, depending on what I eat. When i attend the gym about 6-7 days a week I always do either arms or legs. On hard days i do 5 sets of 12-14 and on others sometimes just 3 sets. I alwaysss work my abs, because it is the key point I want to burn. Leg pull ups, angle leg pull ups with 6 lb ball, ball crunches, 10lb ab twist, a ton more. With everything i usually do 3 sets of eat ab exercise. Some just sets of 12, some sets of 40-50. I seriously spend usually a good atleast 30 minutes on my abs. And i usually do diff work outs every other day. Like I will do leg pull ups one day but not the next (something else but different way). Then after I usually do legs or arms and abs I will do cardio. I alwaysss do atleast 45 minutes but lately I have been doing 60. I usually change up my machine every 3 months because I feel my body gets useto it. Lately I have been doing 60 minutes on a treadmill. Every 10 mins I change it up.. first 10 i have incline at 2 and speed at 4.4mph. the next 10 minutes I will raise incline to 7 and slow speed to 4.0mph. Now I sweat through this badass and I feel like its a really good work out. Sometimes I will do only a half our on treadmill and hit up an elliptical and raise the resistance. I have specifically always tried to occasionally change things up and some days I will even do the stair master for 30 and an arch trainer for 30. And I always like to have some heart rate increase during the course of it. I really do watch what I eat, I drink water with diet snapple (5 calorie packets) because I have trouble dirnking just water unless I am at the gym sweating. I dirnk skim milk and try to have atleast 5 fruits/veggies a day. I have a protien special K cereal in the morning and I do measure my food sizes. Like cereal – 3/4 cup with 1/2 cup skin milk. I have been trying lately to fill up on water when I feel like I need to eat. Sometimes its just boredom. I watch what I eat, i really do. I go for things that usually almost always have less sodium than calories, because thats what my doctor said. If I have a sandwich (maybe twice a week) i have wheat bread. I have been using wheat/multigrain everything when it comes to carbs. I have a yogurt everyday either Light Yoplait or Fiber/Light Activia. I live in a house where my family just lovesss cookies and other goodies so im pretty useto being able to say no. Sometimes even for dinner I microwave one of those steamable veggie packs and thats all i will even eat. I snack on fiber one bars, pretzles, and just fruit/veggies. Now ..my question is what should I do. I went out to dinner yesterday (fathers birthday) and I weighed myself this morning, my scale said i gained 2 lbs .. I also have a Tyler or w/e u call them scale that goes by .5 lbs. I thinking of getting a new one that goes by .2 so maybe it will make me happier. I’ve been told by someone I should be taking in more protein.. But I really feel like I will gain weight. Plus that stuff is pretty expensive. Now I know it is veryyy hard for a woman to get abs showing, but I would really like some tips or even advice. It took me about 15 minutes to type all this so please answer.

Under the options to check calories burned, it appears as the value (example 350), then kC? Is this calories or kilocalories or what? Is there a difference?
