I have been struggling with this all month. It started with the purchase of the EA Sports Active2 with the heart rate monitor. Now I know what my heart rate is during my workouts. So what do I do with this information?
I did the calculations to see what my max rate should be, i.e. 220-64=156.
I checked my numbers during my workout and for short periods I was way over that number. I noticed that as I increased my heart rate with each exercise my HR stayed at a higher level. When I was in the middle of my routine I hit 170 and higher for short bursts. Is this too much?
When I googled this I found that if you are healthy enough to hit that range that's OK for brief periods.
It wasn't a struggle to complete the workout and I'm still breathing!
I guess it's OK!
