should i buy a Heart Rate monitor to get into shape?
I never really know how hard i'm working out when I'm jogging. I jog-walk-jog-walk and don't know if im really pushing myself.
is a heart rate monitor worth the investment?
do you think it will provide a bit of additional motivation?
In my honest opinion, no. All it does is count how many times your heart beats and applies a very simple formula you can do in your head, and heart monitors get quite expensive.
To find your maximum heart rate in bpm, subtract 220 minus your age. Then, you should find 50% and 85% of that number. This is your target heart rate when exercising. For instance, I'm 17, so my maximum heart rate is 203. My low THR is around 102 and my high THR is 173.
Your goal when exercising is to elevate your heart rate to at least your low THR without going over your high THR. To check your pulse, the easiest two spots are the carotid artery in the neck or the radial artery in the wrist. Always palpate (feel) the area with two fingers, preferably the index and middle fingers, not the thumb.
The radial artery in the wrist can be palpated by pointing your palms upwards and placing two fingers almost in the middle of the wrist. The carotid artery in the neck is easier for me just because the pulse is much more noticeable. To palpate it you'll need to dig around in your neck a little just under the jawbone where it angles into the bottom of your mouth.
Once you find a palpable artery, simply count the number of heartbeats in six seconds and multiply by 10. This will give a close estimate of your true heart rate. From there, simply check to see that it falls within range, and adjust your exercise.
That's really all a monitor does, and if you can do that on your own, why buy a product to do it for you?
