Looks interesting - way too technical for me, though! lol!
Hi Leonie-
I understand... I mostly use my hr monitor while spinning, as it tells me if I am working hard enough. Sometimes it is hard to tell! Also it is fun to have as I try different types of workouts, I can glance down and see what zone I am in, tells me to work harder or lighten up.
Once you are over about 70% of your max hr, you are actaully anaerobic and not burning fat.
Since burning fat is a very desireable goal for me, it is nice to help me actually slow down at times. I tend to try and work hard even when I don't need to. My type a part I guess! :0
I was thinking it would be useful for biking too. But I'm pretty lame. I don't know how to get my resting heart rate. I did the math to get the max one. Then do I input both and it tells me the zones?
