Heart Rate
When you guys run and want to be at 60-70% heart rate, how do you know what your bpm is. Do you guys use something to monitor it? I go running in the morning in the outdoors so I have no clue what my heart rate is. What can I do?

start at speed 6.
i thought all treadmills have the sensors where you can place your hands on and it will tell you your heart rate.

You guys trust those heart rate monitors on the machines? I think they basically work off heat, so if you happen to be wearing say a long sleve shirt or sweats you will be hot and it shows your heart rate as being higher then it actually is?
The reason I ask, is I have a the same question...what do you use to monitor bpm? Do you try and count your pulse pre cardio, then again several minutes after starting cardio, and periodically throughout? I thought about getting a watch with a heart rate monitor on it, but I was told they work on the above principle of heat, and I tend to wear sweats durring cardio....not sure if it would be accurate
TIA

Buy a Heart Rate Monitor. They have a chest transmitter and come with a watch. They are +/- 1 bpm.

I perform my cardio at 75% max HR personally, i use the monitor in the ellipticals, they seem to work fine.
