Im 27, overweight and I can't seem to get my heart rate up enough to be winded. I sweat A LOT. But the heart rate monitor is always reading too high and Im not losing too much weight yet.

you don't necessarily need to be winded if your on a treadmill.....sweating is really good...its your bodies way of breathing...so as you can se if your not being winded...your body is breathing already by sweating....have you tried getting your heart rate from your wrist its a lot more accurate to find out then a monitor...find a place between your wrist and your hand with your palm facing you...on the left hand on the left side of the wrist there shud be a small area like a hole wen u feel it...look at the treadmills timer or clock or which ever u have to tell time...feel your pulse and then start with the count 0-1-2-3- etc...for 15 seconds ...multiply by 4 and that will be your heart rate for one mintue
