To use a heart rate monitor, you must first know at what heart rate you wish to workout. Find your Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) and target heart rates using the heart rate calculator. Now you can work out in different heart rate zones. Healthy Heart Zone: 50-60% of your MHR.
How Heart Rate Monitors Work Using a heart rate monitor is very simple. The most effective monitors measure your heart rate with a transmitter that is placed over the heart and held in place by an adjustable strap that wraps around your chest. Just like an electrocardiogram (ECG) the transmitter detects electrical activity.
These two numbers are your average target heart rate zone for vigorous exercise intensity when using the HRR to calculate your heart rate. Your heart rate during vigorous exercise should generally be between these two numbers. For example, say your age is 45 and you want to figure out your target heart rate zone for vigorous exercise using the HRR method. Follow these steps: First, subtract 45 from 220.You can monitor your heart rate while walking by checking the wrist pulse.
Use two fingers, the index and middle finger, to measure your wrist pulse. Place two fingers on the outer edge of your wrist, just under the place where the hand meets the wrist. Remove your watch if.Types of Heart Rate Monitors.
Chest-strap HRMs: A wireless sensor on a chest strap detects your pulse electronically and sends that data to a wristwatch-style receiver, which displays your heart rate. Once you get used to the routine of putting on the heart rate monitor chest strap and working out with it on, a strap will provide the most accurate heart-rate results.The cheapest way to measure your heart rate is to use your fingers to track your pulse. You’ll first need to stop exercising and place your finger over a pulse point on your neck, wrist, or chest.As you exercise, periodically check your heart rate. A wearable activity tracker makes it super easy, but if you don’t use one you can also find it manually: Take your pulse on the inside of your wrist, on the thumb side.
Use the tips of your first two fingers (not your thumb) and press lightly over the artery.Many smartphone apps let you take your heart rate in about 15 seconds using the phone’s camera. Check your pulse once or twice a day, and you’re good to go. For more, see The Best Heart Rate Monitors.The Best Heart Rate Monitors for 2020.
Whether you use an arm band or chest strap, smarten up your exercise and training routine by adding ones of the best heart rate monitors.How should you use a heart rate monitor? Measure your heart rate before, during, and after workouts Select the technology that allows the person exercising to track his or her THRZ. Wrist monitor.The Letsfit Fitness Tracker HR features a wrist band heart monitor which does a pretty decent job at monitoring your heart rate 24/7.
It also features full-day activity tracking so you know how much you were active, calories burned, and other such things as well.In turn, you can use your heart rate as a gauge of how intense your workouts are the higher your heart rate, the harder your body is working.

Very useful video. It’s nice to have these things in line. It’s Sunday, I will try zone 2 + zone 3+ zone 2.
at 4:25 he’s thinking…. I wonder if she takes it up the shitter.
Hi! Firstly I appreciate your channel and your every video is always giving inspiration. Like this one is so interesting because our heart is the central for our muscles to work! (Heart pumps during a day about 7200 litres ( about 5-6 litres per minute 1440 (60×24)minutes per day so then: 7200 litres per day(1440×5)) and heart rate is a good indicator of many facts about our physical ability and condition! Wishing you all the very Best and I hope that your good channel here on YT will remain and stay online without more issues. Best Regards from Sweden and me Charl
My Garmin watch seems pretty spot on, even during exercise. I often test it out the old fashioned way just to be sure.
They definitely don’t record such accurate data all the time because that would require the gps chip to be enabled all the time which it isn’t the case or else your phone would be dead in a few hours. Your iPhone does always keep track of your location based off of only cell towers and WiFi networks which gives the phone a general idea where it is (like a 1/4 mile radius). Unless a specific app requests a precise location ( such as the workout app) the gps chip is never powered on.
That’s cause they using old drivers. Far out ghee people these days
I have an app that uses the camera light and camera to measure my finger pulse. These apps have been around for years.
comment section shows everyone was worried more about the reporter’s heart rate rather than the level of accuracy for the fitness trackers
The 220age method is definitely crap. If I followed it, I would think my max HR was the same as my LTHR
I’m just impressed she could get her HR up to 193 easily at that age…. and she could talk while doing it. Wtf am I doing wrong? At 195 probably 10 years younger than her there is no way I’m talking much.
I am using the MAF method and 7 months in, I have gone from 10:30 min miles (which was painfully slow to start) to 8:50 min miles at same HR / effort. Certainly will keep using this method for 80% of my runs and speed work on 20%.
People in this comment section are beyond uneducated. 175bpm is not a high heart rate for a young woman, infact it’d be within the target limits
It’s a false equivalence fallacy. Wearables aren’t medical devices, which incidentally cost thousands of dollars and are not wearable but are designed with medical intervention purposes in mind. A wearable, by contrast, provides the consumer with an approximation that ought to be measured as an average for a set period say three months. This allows you to approximate health, fitness and performance variables, but also provides information that can be conveyed to medical specialist to evaluate against their own measurements over time.
Studying for an exam which will incorporate these tracking bands and Blue Ocean Strategy. I can assume that in the end of the day Apple is gonna outwit all devices targeting human adults. They’re leaders in displays (when it comes to personal computers and mobile devices) and slick product design (sexy, reliable). They’ll take it from there. UP is constantly updating their bands, but we all know how Apple updates iPads like how we change underwear! Let us just wait and see.
Plus Apple has a bigger game: Personal communication. They know how to connect with people. They will incorporate all the Apple ecosystem within.
Whistle and Leapfrog will probably keep going on, as they target dogs and kids, respectively.
Good review. I wish someone would do another one of these reviews. Also she should probably get more exercise. Her heart rate maxed out with some comparatively light jogging.
Fantastic tests, I’m definitely going to try that. My MAX HR is 170, resting is 53 but I don’t think my recovery (on bike) is all that good.
190 bpm?!!!… thats really not good, even when you work out.
Everyone can test himself in real life situation, no need for fancy equipment. Tested several times by measuring pulse on my neck for 15 sec while walking, then multiply by 4 to get per minute… and readings were very close or exact match with my Polar H7, pretty good match also optical measuring with Garmin Vivosmart HR. Optical reading have problem reacting fast enough to sudden increase of hr (which is to be expected, it is physiological), pretty a lot of problems for me also in winter with very low temperatures, but stats at the end of run or fast walk average and max hr were in majority of cases very close, sometimes optical lower by max 10, about 5-6 for max. As long as I did not sprint or walking up stairs fast from experience I can trust both chest belt and optical (speaking for vivosmart, can’t know for others). With sudden changes in heart beats or very cold weather for sure H7 have all my trust.
Almost 190 running? Thats quite fast. I can run for 30 mins and only get to about 160
that’s good. I used the heart monitor section of the health app on the phone to monitor my heart rate while I was between cardiologist visits because I had no other way of doing it.
I wonder if this woman is now on beta blockers or something. I don’t know how she can be so chilled when her heart rate is basically off the scale! The sleazy doc standing next to her must have surely said something when the camera stopped rolling.
Yikes! I dunno that 170+ is a good or healthy heart rate with such a short workout! And 146 is her rest?? I stress out when my resting BPM goes over 70 and I really have to push it to even get to 160 BPM on my hard cycling rides or hard runs!
holy hell.. 193 bpm? that is a terrible heart rate for not much activity.. I reach 170 when I totally max myself out, with your level I would be at 120-122
All those readings above 150 this gal is about to really screw herself up overworking her heart. 193 is above anybody’s MHR. These devices all seem weird. The information is skewed so badly I do not believe anything said here.
the way i see it is NO SHIT THE MEDICAL ONE IS GOING TO BE BETTER
I wonder if she wore the watch so the sensor was on the bottom side of her wrist if it would have made a fifference.
HR training is very overrated, it can be demoralizing and you’re looking at your wrist too much.
I generally walk on my treadmill but it is not showing “exercise” minutes on the Apple Watch. Am I missing something?
“The Samsung S5 is the best!:
Forgets that the chest strap have the most accurate measurement…
The zones make so much more sense now and I can relate each to types of runs 5. Madness 4. Speed work/intervals 3. Tempo 2. Long run 1. Recovery.
Why is her heart rate soooo high??? Omg See a doctor ASAP…
The samsung galaxy 5 can also be paired with a heart rate monitor via bluetooth as well. I have the bluetooth polar chest strap and it pairs with it. No need to hold your finger on the sensor
What a way to waste a Doctors time.. how did he agree to this waiting around for crappy hardware & software on time he will never get back in his life… & ditto
Great test, would be great to have an update with latest devices.
Pretty certain my Galaxy Note 4 built in heart rate sensor is 100% accurate, considering this video is 2 years old S Health has had a lot of updates since then and is now much more accurate, if not 100%.
@ 1:20 she says the heart rate is “93 O2″… that O2 is your 99% oxygen saturation you moron….
the cardiologist knows he is wasting his time. his facial expressions tell it all but his penis is telling him to keep going…..
Not sure but…. is she using the wrong finger. I think is supposed to be her lefthand. Not sure just asking.
I was curious about the chest straps and found this helpful but i couldn’t agree more with the comments below about her cardiovascular fitness. She cracked 190 bpm without sweating or puking on the doc.
Strava is freaking expensive what if you dont have celluar version of apple watch
Definitely the best video ever! Fact and experiment based review. Such a rarity these days that I almost feel like saluting this lady for her thoroughness in reviewing the product!
I want a heart rate monitor while I sleep anyone recommend one? Hopefully I can plug it in and or has lithium battery.
this chicks heart rate is through the roof. 176 while running and 146 at rest?
I still use my Microsoft band because of the Guided workouts it has. No other fitness band does that.
I GUESS HER MAX HEART RATE IS 240 OR SHES TOTALLY OUT OF SHAPE
Why don’t people put those wristbands on facing downwards so the sensors are closer to the veins on the ‘bottom side’ of your wrist? I mean, I havent tried them yet but that would seem to make more sense.
The Doc has a look of being almost annoyed at even comparing the devices to his equipment….very funny
This is the best video I’ve seen for fitness trackers.
Is there an update with all devices released in the last 3 months?
Stay out of zone 3 for training in my experience.
Made the biggest improvements in my race pace when I ditched going in zone 3 and used the 80/20 method (not strictly MAF but close enough).
Managed to improve my LTHR using zone 2 runs only and my 1/2 marathon + race distances I run in zone 3 but don’t bonk anymore!
Love the feeling of a zone 2 training run running 10 miles and feeling completely fresh, compared to how I used to run in zone 3
This type of scientific review should be done with all fitness wearables. It’s the difference between wasting your efforts and money, and getting reliable health data.
Thanks CNET and Sharon.
Polar H7 or Polar OH1 sensors can also be paired to Polar watches or to Garmin watches, an then synchronized over the internet to Polar or Garmin servers. But access of sensor raw data is difficult for instance in Garmin Connect. These two sensors are Bletooth smart (BLE) sensors which are compatible with many devices. My personally, I would not buy a Polar T31 anymore, the newer Polar sensors have BLE connectivity, which is a widely accepted standard.
Instead of a Polar T31, I also suggest to use a Polar OH1 optical heart rate sensor paired over BLE to a training tracker for scientific purposes. Polar OH1 is very comfortable to wear, has a battery life of up to 12 hours, and the accuracy of the Polar OH1 is near to an ECG device, which was published in this paper:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6532910/
Polar T31 has the accuracy of ecg, but uses wearlink transmission to a Polar watch. Are you happy with Polar T31 and wearlink?
Polar H7 BLE chest strap has also an accuracy which is near to an ECG device, which was shown by the group of Milind Desai:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6732081/
Polar H7 uses BLE transmission, which can be connected the Android app a training tracker from Dr. Ing. Rainer Blind. A training tracker can record sensor data in data analysis software friendly.csv format.

Could you please do a video on triathlon for kids? My daughter (5 year old) loves to do a triathlon with me yet I can never find any equipment for her especially in clothing (does GTN wanna make tri suits for kids? haha). Also any advice on tri bikes for kids, the cost-effective equipment, etc?
For me the max HR calculation seems way off base and is totally different from my LTHR zones. I have a max HR of about 192 and a LTHR of about 172. Judging by the max calculation my Z2 tops out at 134 bpm, while judging by the LTHR calculation it goes from 129-146. LTHR seems much more reasonable it’s work to keep my HR below 146 when running, but doable if I concentrate on going really slowly and walk all hills. Keeping it below 134 is totally impossible. Conversely, at the top end, my Z5 (per max calculation) is anything above 173 bpm, but I can hold that for about 60 minutes. LTHR has zone 5 as above 181 bpm, which seems much closer to correct for me. Your mileage may vary, obviously. Would love to hear about specifically which coaching systems or research the GTN team follows when deciding these things in their own training.
Hi Dr Matthews, I use a Polar T31-Coded chest strap with my Galileo Sol scuba diving computer. I dive with it both in a dry suit and a wet suit. Today my heart beat reading seemed way off the charts; it started out reading 67 to 71 bpm then it jumped to between 195 and 205 bpm while very slowly swimming along the bottom. I surfaced to see if I could notice anything wrong. Instantly on the surface, the heart rate monitor dropped to 60 to 65. I dropped to the bottom (8-ft deep), and it instantly went up to 195 to 200 bpm. I repeated this surfacing three times before aborting the dive. My dive buddy, a fireman, thought either I wasn’t wearing my strap correctly or that there was a malfunction in the computer. I have dove with this system for four-years with no problem until now. The dive computer battery is full, and the computer works perfectly. I have been diving for 45-years. I am considered a high-end athlete when I am tested at the hospital. I do between 13 to 15 METs on the stress test. My blood pressure is usually 118 over 79, and my heart rate is usually 60 bpm at the doctor’s office. My PCP reluctantly told me 133 bpm is the top end for me. My cardiologist will not give me that answer, and the two cardiac nurses I dealt with refused to tell me the top end bpm. I have no damage to my heart. I am told my heart is “perfect” when they do echocardiograms on me. I wear the strap over my solar plexus with the strap touching my lower pectorals; there is a gap between my solar plexus and the strap that I can place my finger underneath. Is it time for a new chest strap or a new dive computer?
I truly appreciate this video, was looking for something to compare mine to see what is normal and abnormal. Since my resting layinf in bed can be 60-70. Then sitting 70-80. But as soon I stand foes to 100, slow walking goes to 110-135 (which I think is too much just for walking) if I jog for a few it goes to 160’s, I’m only 31 years old and I’m sedentary, but I’m trying to improve.
Other thing, when I stopp exercise let’s say my heart rate is 130, like in 15 minutes is 100, in 20 minutes is 80. But as soon I stand after resting it goes high to 130 again for like 10 minutes and then start decreasing again, is that normal?
Cause I thought if I rested and it was 80, why it has to increase to 130 suddenly just for standing….
ex oarsman here still training at age 53 my max after a sqwat test with 50 kg 6 sets full sqwat 22 reps heart rate 182,, after 1 min rest 112 so thats a 70 drop in one min. just goes to show that rowing training holds you in good stead for middle age
My Samsung gear fit measures my heart rate while running… A lot of Operator error On This demonstration seems to be the problem or Lack of knowledge…
I’m not even in as good a shape as I was years ago and my at rest is 60 bpm. When I was lean and in really good shape my at rest was 50 to 55 bpm. It’s nice to know that my heat rate is that good compared to athletes who have not much better bpm at rest. You have to have a balance I find. You need to rest as much, if not more than you exercise, so nothing wrong with being lazy sometimes.
Nice vlog, thought provoking! I kind of thought I was kind of unusual geeking out on this kind of thing, what you demonstrated is what I have observed in my self. My heart recovery rate over 2 min. is one of the things I use to judge my fitness… listening and observing your own body is one of the best ways to learn and to understand your own state of health and level of fitness. I consider my self to be my own personal lab rat for learning what works and particularly what my body responds best to; be it training, food, or rest/recovery. Keep up the great vlogs, enjoy the variety of subjects and your insight!
looks like I am pretty simular, only differens. my low is 42-45. I think my fitness is a bit worse than yours. age 39 181cm 87 kilo
Interesting insight into how quickly the heart reacts to slight movements. I was always curious why my HR would jump 20-30bpm from resting as I leave my home for a bike ride. This video answers my curiosity.
That was a surprisingly good, interesting video. Your video’s are always worth watching. Even my daughter(she’s 10) likes them, and my wife. Thanks Danni.
What are other pain points in heart rate monitoring in a watch? Can improving optical efficiency or reducing power consumption at the LED help? Will VCSELs be preferable to LEDs?
All thanks to kelvinhack7 on IG for this grate work. My IPhone watch was Recover in less then 5hours
You can chat him up +1 (702) 886-7124
Thank you kelvin
Great video, nicely explained and I like that you’ve even included some example sessions too. Question though: which is the best % method to use? %HHR or %LTHR? It seems that MHR is out of the picture as it’s just too broad of an estimate.
Wait a minute…. The very first device was as you say, spot on, and it told you right away. But then the very last device is a phone and it wasn’t spot on AND you had to stop and wait for a reading and then you say it was the best device??? The video was interesting, but you really should have kept track of the readings and displayed them together also, then maybe you wouldn’t have mistakenly said the last was the best. But, thanks for what you did do. It helps us all.
Clearly they dont know about tech at all and why is tracking your location and it should track your location so it can calculate how many miles you walked or cycled etc and everyone likes to see how many miles they run or cyled or walked like fitbit does that to even garmin. Clearly there new to technology. I know this topic is little old but ugh ��
If you don’t want the map, mark your walk as an “Indoor Walk”, and it won’t register your route.
Leo clearly does not have much experience with exercise apps: to start a workout typically increases the frequency of the heart rate monitor as well as the GPS monitorboth of which increase the power output of the watch. Thus, the battery use is increased and the time between recharges is shortened. Additionally, he seems to think that a workout is the same as normal activities. Anyone who is really getting a workout wants to know what the output is from the beginning to the end as distinct from when they are getting dressed, warming up, and stretchingor even going out to pick up the mail. It seems that he really doesn’t need a workout app or a workout watch. Get someone to comment who actually works out to review a workout watch/app.
I thought it was going to have a way to track details with yoga or more interesting pilates
Alas i am not the type of person to just go out for “Run” so I use a cheststrap and HR to get the most out of every run session. I leave the just going out for a bike or swim:) far more enjoyable sports than running:)
youtube suggesting me this 6yrs later to know that my honor band 5 is accurate or not ����
The pause feature doesn’t work well on the Workout app when used for cycling.
I tried maf mefod,I have binned it and just run now for the fun
Hi, thank you for making this video but I’m still really confused. I’ve been running for three months. I use a Garmin watch for HR. I can sustain a zone 4 and 5 for over half an hour easily. I didn’t realize this was not what I was supposed to be doing, until recently. My resting HR is under 60. My long run PR is 13 kms. I don’t know why my heart beats so hard yet feels so easy. It’s very easy for me to talk in zone 4 when my HR is above 170. Is there something wrong with me? Is this normal at the beginning? Thank you
It is possible to run in zone 2? Even if i just jogging super slowly, at 7km/h my heart rate always constantly at zone 4, around 166. Its impossible for me to run below zone 4
Hi I thought Zone 3 was the dreaded grey zone that we had to avoid as it did not effectively train the aerobic or anaerobic energy systems?
All thanks to kelvinhack7 on IG for this grate work. My IPhone watch was Recover in less then 5hours

Thank you kelvin
Thanx This really help as I was struggling to get my band to pick up my heart rate.
I don’t understand why my maximum running is done in zone 5. For anything below zone 4 I’ll literally have to walk.
If you’re a rookie, stay with the recommended 220-xxx formula -> 50/60/70/80/90/100%, were 60% is where actual training begins. If you want a little bit more refined data, to % HR reserve. You would need your rest heartrate, and your maximum heart rate as well. How to get both acurratly? For the resting heart rate there is only one really decent way. You would need to constantly monitor your heart rate with any fitness tracker, and let it build an average resting heart rate over, let’ say, 4 weeks. This average is your resting HR. Your resting HR IS NOT the minimum heart rate you ever measured. When training with HR, it’s all about the average, not the maximum or minimum. How to get the maximum? Do an exhausting fast 5k at the middle or maximum of your anaerobic zone in the midst of the hottest summer. If you don’t know that zone, just do a ladder increasing speed every 1k, and make sure to almost(95%) hit the top spot of your maximum capacity. If you feel like almost collapsing, then you know you are there. Now the fun part: After this 5k make sure your run is ending at a hill, that goes up for 100-200m…do a sprint at that hill…and yes, do that sprint after you almost collapsed. The average max of this last 100-200m is your maximum heart rate, anything above almost made you die or vomit, and both is not really fun. If you’ve collapsed in front of the hill, you can just take that average max HR of the 5k as well. 30°C 5k at max will already give you decent feedback. Once you’ve gained some experience and hopefully a decent running watch, switch over to lactate threshold measurement(any decent modern sports watch should have it, Polar, Garmin etc.)and repeat that hill 5k. The watch will build your FTP automatically after 2-3 trainings. But at least one of those should be a maximum effort run or intervalls. Usually 100% FTP, is around 90-95% of your absolute maximum HR Zone(knowen as f.e. Vo2Max, anaerobic capacity, or neuromuscular for cyclers). Zones would typically look like that(60%(base1)/75%(base2)/*lowThreshold*84%(aerobic)*highTreshold*/92%(anaerobic)*max anaerobic capacity*/*almost collapsing*110%(Vo2Max)*virtually dead*), because with higher endurance experience and better cardiovascular system, not only your resting HR would drop, also your HR zones would improve, even if you’re an agegrouper. So to get the same training results like when you started as a rookie, you would need to raise the effort. At one point your body simplywants more to furtherly improve. But unless you’re a SD or OD distance sprinter, you don’t want to go to that zone anyways. MD’s might make it, but risk to collapse early with to much anaerobic effort. For Iron Man or Marathon distance you in fact want to avoid anything anaerobic like hot fire, unless you know exactly how much acid your body can take during a race, and still go on. For me this would be anywhere between 90-120 Minutes. So if I do 120 Minutes anaerobic, I’m done! No sugar, and no pause will bring back what you’d need to finish your race with the pace you’d wished for. Also, keep weather(temperature) and elevation in mind when calculating your anerobic potential during raceday. So make sure to build your aerobic speed capacity, or significantly reduce weight when going for the very long distances. Because with very low weight(see pro runners) you most likely will never get into any of the anaerobic training zones, but still be fast…Edit: oh, and for sure, don’t try any of this if you’re just starting to do endurance sports, if you are an agegrouper without medical assurance, if you’re overweighted, or any of these combined.
can we have a latest video with Fitbit charge HR, jawbone Up3, if they finally release it please.
And when it says shut up, please shut up and don’t talk. Girls are girls. Please follow damn instructions in your next video.
P.S I’m not a Samsung user.
It’s weird but I literally can’t run in Zone 1. Even if I’m holding back the maximum I still am in the high end of Zone 2. For me the only way to get into Zone 1 is to finally break into a walk.
heart rate is over rated it’s only one of many many physiological markers and is rarely consistent (same run and pace) and is rarely even accurate. Another blinky number to look at while you get through a workout rather than enjoy a run and forget time, pace etc and just listen to your body. ����♂️��♂️
Am I doing something wrong if I get different numbers for the zones when calculating using MHR and LTHR?
That’s Samsung guys,,, Fu*k Iphone, people pay a lot of money with little technology.
I always where a heartrate strap but tend to run more on feel than constantly checking my watch. Noting on how my breathing is tends to show me how my efforts are.
After uploading then I see how I went
Dont-Use-Optical-HeartRate-Monitor. Use HR strap, if you want reliable data.
Thanks, Matthews Evans for the tip with the conductive Gel for the chest strap. I m currently investigating the use of sports sensors for scientific purposes. I m doing it for fun and in my spare time, but the goal is to use those sensors for scientific purposes (meditation training and meditation research). Candidate sensors are the Polar H7 BLE sensor, Polar OH1 optical heart rate sensor, Bitalino low cost biomedial toolkit, and Scott Hardens, PhD sound card ecg. All of these sensors have an accuracy which is near to an ECG device. What is missing with those low-cost high qualitiy sensors are researchers interested in these sensors and software developers interested in developing software for it. Not much software developement needs to be done, but most software options are untested. I hope more and more researchers see the value of these sensors, and become interested in those:
https://github.com/PeterGamma
Going 170+ makes you go crazy you can’t talk for quite a while… her strap on sensor was the one fooling her and she trying to fool us by saying she doing intense cardio
I’m trying to stick to zone 2 for my long run, but it is so slow! I find myself walking the majority of the time just to try to get my hr back down… I know this is partially due to fitness, so I hope that as I get fitter, I can do my long run as an actual ‘run’ the whole time! My maxHR is 215, an resting is 77 at the moment.
Pretty sure it does not fit here but I was wondering to what extend hard running workout would impact cycling capacities, with the extrem case of doing most hard work running and easier sessions on the bike (or vice versa)?
At 3:14 you say you got 128 bpm, then at 3:27 you say you got 141 bpm. Doesn’t sound right considering you are resting:)
I used to use a chest based HRM for cycling but switched to an arm based one which I like a lot more. Since the GTN crew has helped me dip my toes into running I think perhaps it may be time to look into a sports watch. Thanks Heather!
I’m an older guy now (70) so I stick to walking/cycling these days. I used a chest strap HRM (POLAR) back in the 80s when they came on scene. My resting daytime HR was 52-55 beats. I actually loved running hills. I wore the HR strap to bed a few nights to see how HR changed during sleep. I would see HR drop from about 11pm to 2am, stay in that zone (42 beats) for a few hours, then start rising around 4am-5am. I was usually up by 6am and off too work. I was just wondering if anyone has used the current tech to view their sleeping heart rates?
I want to ask does the weather affect your HR? I find I can easily push my average HR for a 30 min test to 175 on colder runs but absolutely struggle to hold even 168 in hotter runs (Talking about 37 degrees C hot here)
I have been looking at reviews for heart rate monitors for hours and this is the best one of all.
Chest strap is way better than optical, I have tested my fenix 6 optical against the belt, and it consistenly shows about 15 bpm too much, sometimes even more.
I am 39 and can slow run on 200hr for a half an hour easily…but I do most of my sessions on 155hr zone 3.
thanks for your great job gtn
Thanks for all the videos you post:) I can’t even express how much I’ve learnt and improved in triathlon since I started to watch your channel. You’re doing a great job!
Great input thank You…however on bike my heart rate is very predictable and constant, running it’s fluctuating a lot and peeks out dawn fast…should i take different heart rate zones in consideration for walking and biking…I adjusted them a little don’t think they are accurate.
I don’t know what this chick has going on with her heart but if she reaches 175 that easily-then something is wrong.Isn’t that doctor right next to her going to tell her something about that?!
Hey guys, do you think you could do a few more videos on paratriathlon?? As I can’t seem to find a category that I would fit in to and I’m a little confused!! Cheers joe
All those watches are really cheap. Try comparing it to a Garmin which is widely used by athletes
Looked more like jogging than walking. But good for you either way.
