WHY TRAIN WITH A HEART RATE MONITOR?
Getting the most out of your training doesn't always mean working faster or harder. The best way to
improve your fitness and see results is to train at the right intensity. With a heart rate monitor, you can
make sure you're not over or under training and make each session count. Use Polar as your training partner
and you'll have evidence of your progress-motivating you each and every time you train.
The commonly used age-based calculation method uses the formula for calculating your maximum heart rate. Use 220 minus
Your Age= Maximum heart rate. For example, a 30 year old's maximum heart rate = 220-30=190 Level 3 is a moderate range 70% to 80% .
So 190 X 70-80%= 133-152bpm This is a guideline. Maximum heart rate is the highest number of heart beats per minute (bpm) an individual
can achieve in an all-out effort. It is unique to the individual due to age, heredity, and fitness level. HRmax is a useful tool in
determining training intesities, which are usually expressed as percentages of HRmax. If you are over 40, overweight, have been sedentary
for several years, or have a history of heart diseases in your family. clinical testing is recommended by a cardiologist or excercise
physiologist through the use of a treadmill or bicycle maximal stress test.
