I just wasted 15 minutes googling heart rate monitors. I should have just watch your video Steve. You're the best! And you just save me 15% on my car insurance. More money in my pocket.
Heart rate monitors are just tools like a watch or the ability to count reps. You can exercise without keeping track of time or repetitions...BUT if you are trying to follow some prescribed routine or don't know intuitively if you are working too hard or not enough, these tools can help.

@nector1592 Not always. I can hold my breath and raise my heart raste to 130 bpm but I'm not burning a lot of calories. And people who are out of shape will burn too many sugar calories at 4 calories per grams vs fat calories at 9 cal/ gm.

What I mean is the video is about beginners, noobs and fat burn not serious athletic performance and/or from people who are already in shape and maybe need more monitoring in their sport. There's a difference.

I go to the gym, ride bikes, run and I do push myself quite a lot, most people in the gym don't at all and I've rarely even seen people break sweat (I sweat buckets when I train). They could work out harder but for beginners since they don't have the experience of long duration aerobic training, or maybe even enjoy it (?), probably a HRM makes no difference. Not sure, maybe I'll give one a go and see how I get on, just for curiosity's sake.
I'm still undecided about buying a HRM. I think HRMs are better for more serious athletes who need extra monitoring and have the experience to know their body. A combination of both can help I guess.
I think HRM is great peace of tech everybody should have. why not to get more info about what are you doing , it's like a care , you should have information when you drive it.
This video is very misleading; Heart Rate Monitors are great! To increase your Fitness you shouldn't exercise in your maximum Hear Rate Zone as much as your Middle and Lower Heart Rate Zones and having an HRM is a good way to keep track of your workouts and improvements. Exercising too much is definitely not a good thing!
I bought a heart rate monitor cause I used and still do sometimes faint when I workout really hard. It was cheap, like 30€. Now I use it to keep my workout intense. Warm up slowly to 150-160bpm, then I go for the heavy weights. When resting, Istead of wating 30 seconds for my next set. I just wait until my bpm is back to 160, or 150 if I`m not feeling great. Sometimes it takes 30 seconds, sometimes it takes 10...
Absolutely. But the average person is sooo worried about increasing their heart rate too much (and getting a little out of breath) when a little increase in heart rate would actually increase their level of fitness allowing them to workout harder and burn more calories in the future.
I was sceptial regarding heart rate monitors for years. Finally, I choose to buy one. And I don't regret it. It's not that thing that I wear a fancy watch around my wrist but to have some little extra information (e.g. average HR, max. HR, calories burned) of what I was doing.
Good . But I lost over 30 lb in one month using weight loss plan from LSWEIGHT(.)INFO
hmm...weight loss you say...you could run? with me three miles every day...its what i do :]br/br/oh yah, and, uhm 'did you hear that freakin motorcycle?!'
A normal way to measure the max heart rate is 220 minus the age, so I should have 191. But during my sprint test I got up to 210, can that be dangerous? And during my normal run while I don't even feel stressed, my heart rate is quite high(160-180), I just wonder if it's normal.
this guy proves that hes a complet idot first of all u should push your heart rate up because the first 10 to 15 min you will be burning glucose from your body.then u will burn fat but only at a heart rate of 180 up wards u should do 60sec pushing pulse up then 60sec slow pace u should do this for 30mins. dont take advise from this slob BUY A HRM even better buy one with cal burner
What's going on when your heart starts to hurt? Is there a possibilty that I could have a heart attack because My heart is just beating so fast? I mean.. sometimes my ears will ring lol.
Steve your right, when i use a HRM i always hold myself back and don't push as hard tho when i dont use a HRM i push as far as i can and i feel better for it. Mate i love your shows, you give us lots of good infomation that is not readely said with other people and you take the time to explain things that makes it easier to understand whats being talked about. Thanks Mate
So this guy, i'm sorry, but he's a quack. If you want to know the intensity of the workout your getting, if you want to lose weight and track the calories burned, if you want to start making some serious gains in strength... a HRM can be a fantastic tool that can get you more intune with your body than anything else can.
man i have been watching these guys videos and he is out of it or something. precision while doing cardio helps so much...and a HRM gives you precision. dunno about this guy...
I don't agree with him.... I am having a heart rate monitor it proves to me as a gr8 tool,i can push myself the extra in the treadmill, i can maintain my heart rate to be in the intensity zone to burn fat,i can have a look at my calories burned every second and even have a summary of daily,weekly,monthly and total workouts....
hehe I think we hit a sore spot with you about too much/not enough intensity! hehe I love your passion and your videos are great! Thanks for all the great info!
Hi Steve - I agree with your view on HRMs in gym/cardio situations, however you must agree that they are important and useful tools in certain sports (especially endurance activities). I do not know a fellow competitive cyclist or triathlete that does not own and use one. I see my HRM as a strategic tool in endurance events. Cheers.
Jst bought one on ebay and it really was a waste of money, I don't think is accurate and won't exactly tell me either the amount of calories I burn so I don't use it any more :(
thanks for making this- too many people fall into this money trap at my gym- everybody shells out money and then they become more addicted to paying attention to a hr monitor than listening to their body- which is much better for you in the long run... i mean, what would you rather be more in tune with- a machine or your own body?

Hi Steve, while I agree with most of your comments,
I disagree that a HRM is useless. A HRM provides knowledge of
one physical parameter that would have been otherwise
unknown.
So for me it's a matter of ignorance vs knowledge.
What about those who want to stay ABOVE a pre defined
heart rate for a particular session?
Cheers, Art.
