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.

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 got a very acurate polar heart rate monitor to figure out my heart rate. Im 40 years old, and i can easily jog with a heart rate around 170. In fact i ran a whole marathon at a 166 rate. I tried to push it today and got my heart up to 206 today. Finaly, when i test my hear in the morning, my resting heart rate is good. between 58 and 65. I a high maximum heart rate bad for me.
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 was fiddling around with a polar heart rate monitor and left it on for a while and forgot about….then about half an hour later i looked at the monitor and it read 25! Is there something wrong with the machine (interference etc) or is it actually possible?
hi friends i want to see Heart Rate Monitor Watch and Blood Pressure Monitor. I find here OK more model to choose and cheap (How do you think with here?)
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?
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
Ok, I am now 115 pounds, and my height is 5’5. I know that you may say that I don’t need to lose any weight..but I have been 105 pounds my whole life (i’ve been active, and eat healthy..and eat ALOT)
Well, I just went to college this past year, and…I’ve gained 10 pounds of pure fat! I don’t know what happened!! I have never gained weight like this before..I use to be thin with muscle..now I have lost my muscle, and am kinda chubby. I think that I gained weight becuase of excess stress..and junk food. Now, I’m going to be coming home from school soon..and I’ll be pretty embarressed with this weight that I’ve gained. I have 5 weeks left…can I lose the 10 pounds? I think that I burn 1500 calories a day..how much should I eat? I also run/walk on the treadmill every day for an hour (i have a polar heart rate monitor, at it says that I burn 500 calories…)
Please help..I really want to get back to me! (it seriously is depressing me..)
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???
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?
ok, I’m 5’5 and 130 pounds. I’m very athletic (run, bike, swim), but over the past 6 months I have gained about 15 pounds of fat. I have a tournment coming up, and I need to lose the weight in order to fit into my weight category.
I have a polar heart rate monitor, and it tells me how many calories I burn during an excersize; yesterday I worked out intensly for 14 hours, and according to the watch I burned about 8000 calories. I realize that it’s an insane amount of time to workout, but I also eat every two hours to keep my energy up.
Technically speaking, if I do this every-other-day for about two weeks, could I lose 2 pounds a day the days I work out? I realize that this is a very intense regimine, and not necessarily a healthy way to lose weight. However, I simply want to know if it is possible.
I figure if Michael Phelps can do it, why not give it a try (I realize that I’m no olympic medalist, nor am I 6+ feet tall. But, I do have a fast metabolism and as i said I’m very athletic) I appreciate any input
I decided to wear my polar heart rate monitor for 24 hours to see how many calories I burn a day; after the 24 hours, it said that I burned 1200 calories..is my metabolism slow? I decided to to a couple more times, just to see if it was consistent, and it averaged out to be the same.
I’m 18 years old, 5’5, and 115 pounds; does this mean that I need to eat 1200 a day to maintain my weight?
Do you like Lifetime Fitness and their features? I am a member and although I enjoy the gym, I find some of their training programs a little overpriced, along with the MAP test. Has anyone taken the MAP test at Lifetime and found their results useful? What about the Polar Heart Rate Monitors they are always advertising? Useful?
I just got a polar heart rate monitor, and it said that I burned 100 calories jumping rope (for about 15 minutes). I’m 5’5, 115 pounds…did I really burn that many calories in such a short amount of time? Or is my monitor totally wrong? Thanks!
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?
