 |
|
| I just got one of these and am reading through the paperwork. But thought I might get a clearer answer here. My resting heart rate was 74 and it had a 41% next to it. Does that mean my max heart rate shouldn't be more than 104? That seems low, doesn't it? I exercise and am sure my heart rate goes past 104 during cardio.I also forgot to add that I do have 1 cup of black coffee about an hour before my work-out. Not sure if that changes the numbers.If I can actually get a real answer to my question, that would be great! I'm not asking about personal opinions of HRM's, just what my max heart rate should be..... hmmm.... |

| Since I started to work out I was looking for a good weight loss product (I only wanted something 100% natural). I was on a diet but I felt that I needed a little "help" so I decided to try this great detoxification colon cleanse and I had fantastic results. You can check their website at http://www.no-stress-diet.us , they give you a free trial and you only pay $4.95 shipping and handling. |

| First things first; you need to provide specifics such as the watch model #. The reason behind knowing the model # is so that we have a better idea as to what sort of features this particular model has. Having said that, I think the percentage you're seeing is one of two things. 1) It could be a percentage of your resting heart rate (RHR) [your heart rate when you are at rest]. The average resting heart rate is 72 beats per minute (BPM). Some people use a resting heart rate as a measure of fitness — the lower the rate, the more fit the individual. However, a more accurate measure of fitness is how quickly your heart rate slows down after exercising. 2) It could be a percentage of your Maximum Heart Rate. (the theoretical point at which, during extreme physical exertion, your heart rate begins to level off and you approach physical exhaustion). Once you figure out what this percentage is (based on the manual) I've included a good reference website that will help you determine your ideal RHR & your ideal MHR based on your specific information, which you will enter into the website. Good luck! |
