Guest Tigger Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 My high school gym teachers made us all wear them for gym class like once a month or something. Turns out my heart rate is nucking futs!It jumps up to 180 with light/moderate exercises and maxes at 200+ when I push myself, but the funny part is that it takes only 1 min to return to 'normal' (I have no idea why it does this, but the doctors says nothing's wrong). The ones we had to use had built in alarms if we went over 190-ish. needless to say I hated those gym days because I had to sit out every game TLDR: I wouldn't get one. But if you do get one, don't get one with an alarm just in case Quote Link to comment
NotBadForAHuman Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 omg, I forgot to take mine off when I got back from the gym - thanks! I have a Polar FT7. It's served me well for calculating calorie burn during various workouts. I don't pay too much attention to min/max heartrate (though my trainer will check on it now and then and bring me down if I'm spiking during some exercises). Quote Link to comment
Grosby Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I have a suunto m4, it's pretty pink. I have it for the calorie counting part of me.. but I'm starting to take notice of the actual heart rate thingie.. the thing that annoys me most is once I press stop, that's it, over.. I can't pause the count/time and just time how long it take back to rest. Quote Link to comment
