Heart Rate Control And Your Exercise Machine
Lots of people wonder whether they should invest in an elliptical trainer vs treadmill machine?
If you are just starting to get back into exercising you may want to consider a machine with HRC. Consult with your doctor and/or a personal trainer and let them help you to determine the ideal level of exercise as defined by your heart rate. They can help you to establish goals and criteria for increasing your level of exertion.
Exercising in a prescribed heart rate zone can optimize your workout and help you to achieve your fitness goals. Examples of heart rate zones are:
- Healthy Heart Zone - 50% - 60% of your maximum heart rate
- Weight Management Zone - 60% - 70% of your maximum heart rate
- Aerobic Zone - 70% - 80% of your maximum heart rate
- Anaerobic Zone - 80% - 90% of your maximum heart rate
- Red-Line Zone - 90% - 100% of your maximum heart rate
Maximum heart rate = 220 - your age. These recommendations are approximations. Beginners should consult their physician first before starting any exercise routines.
Using some form of heart rate control to control the level of your workout has become very popular on fitness equipment, particularly treadmills, elliptical trainers and exercise bicycles. On elliptical trainers the level of your heart rate will determine the degree of resistance.
You will now find heart rate control a standard feature on many exercise machines, in others it is an option. There are two types of heart rate control, handgrip and wireless. On elliptical trainers the handgrip heart rate controls requires you to hold on to stationary handlebars. Unfortunately you do not get the benefits of the upper body workout.
With wireless control you attach a strap around your chest and your heart rate is fed to the console, thus allowing you do get both an upper and lower body workout.
Do you need wireless heart rate control with your elliptical trainer?
First, it is beneficial to at least have the heart rate monitor, and as mentioned almost all ellipticals come standard with that feature. As far as wireless heart rate control, that is an individual choice. I personally like to control my workouts manually and instinctively know the level I feel comfortable at. When I am moderately breathing I know to kick it up. When I can't maintain the pace any further I know to slow it down.
If you are a professional athlete, then HRC can be beneficial for reaching your personal best, especially if you are interval training.
It should be noted that some machines offer heart rate control through stationary handgrips or by ear clip. HRC through handgrips defeats the purpose of getting a upper body workout, since you are can't use the moveable handlebars. And the ear clip HRC is just plain stupid. Who wants to exercise with a clip on their ear. There is only one type of HRC that makes sense, and that is through a wireless chest strap.
The Bowflex Treadclimber TC5000 comes with a wireless heart rate monitor allowing the user to see the heart rate without limiting your upper body workout. We think the Bowflex Treadclimber TC5000 and the TC5500 are the best home elliptical machines available. Visit our website for ellipticals reviews
Are there any good heart rate monitor without a chest strap?
I was wondering if there are any good and reliable wireless heart rate monitors that are any good?
I have the ones with the chest strap but it's uncomfortable and pain to put on.
Thanks
They have watches. Polar is a good brand.
Motorola teases wireless power, invites you to 'Stay Unplugged' (video) (Engadget)
Frowny-faced USB adapters? They're the future, says Motorola. The company has
just posted a teaser video inviting us all to "Stay Unplugged," featuring an
animated USB brick that will break your heart as it sheds a single tear. What
does this mean? Wireless power is going to be a big part of the company's CES
plans, we'd say, but we'll all have to wait and see the details. In the
interim, don't feel bad for the poor thing. It is, after all, a vampire.
