HeartRate

[xnotoriousx]

What do you guys use to keep up with your heartrate? Every cardio machine i've ever used thinks i'm dead and will not give me a HR reading, and when they do it's always like 190 or something lol.

Another question I have is do I really need one? I always either walk @ 10 incline @ 4mph Or do HIIT 60 secs Hard 60 secs Recover.

Thanks for any help.

get your own heart rate monitor.

You know of a cheap one?

Polar has one for about 30 dollars at walmart that works pretty well. I use that one myself
plus most of the heart rate monitors at gyms will read them on the machine to.

I would also suggest buying a heart rate monitor. I know for me my heart rate stays around 130 when I'm at a 10% incline @ 3.5 mph.

Well see that's the thing. I feel like i'll go and spend 30-50 bucks and then i'll do my normal cardio and my hr is going to be on the money lol. I wish the shitty hr readers on the machines worked for me. Never had one work, ever.


I'll look up a cheap one, thanks for the help.

ive lost 34 lbs so far in 8 months. i went from a size 40 waist to a 34. i never once cared about my heart rate. do whatever you think works for you of course. just saying what worked for me.
