Do any of the preprogrammed workouts monitor your heart rate &amp; automatically adjust resistance based on a selected % of target max heart rate?

While the bike does have the normal metal grips that monitor heart rate, I haven't seen any programs that automatically adjust the resistance or any other settings based on it.

Hi, the heart rate monitor works just fine for me and I've used it for maybe 7-10 runs and get VERY sweaty.

You need a device that receives ANT+ signals such as a Garmin heart rate monitor or some gym exercise equipment. There may be an iPhone app that sees the output from the device. I haven't checked into that.

The watch shows your heart rate in real time. The percentage function is something you can setup for different types of training. Hope this helps.

It is fairly simple. Once you select the program type, then you can increase or decrease the resistance with the same buttons. I personally only use the first program which is a flat run. So I am not sure if you can adjust resistance on the other programs they have. Hope that helps

just bpm to my knowledge, in Run Keeper it shows a graph of bpm - so you can track target heart rate

Yes, if buy the heart monitor strap. It tells you if its too low or in range. If you sign up for Garmin connect it will create a graph for each workout so you can compare as well. I had to use all of this for a class.

I use the manual setting ( program 1 and push the up or down and the resistance level is shown on screen. My husband sd he doesn't notice mucgph difference. I bought to exercise my knee after knee replacement and I can definitely tell the difference. Tried several out at stores but didn't want to spend big dollars- this is perfect for me.

What is computed by machines is typically wrong, as it over estimates what your fitness level, weight, etc are. The HRM takes into account your body type, fitness level and heart rate and calculates from there. Typically you can get the transmitter to work with both the watch and the machine, but I'd still rely on the watch for your cals burned.

Yes, the time intervals are fully adjustable and easy to change. Example: I set the timer for 30 seconds exercise and 30 seconds rest for 30 sets. You could just as easily set the exercise and rest periods for 2 minute exercise and 1 minute rest, allows up to 99 sets or Tabata example 20 seconds exercise and 10 seconds rest for 8 sets. I am more than pleased with this timer. Green LED for exercise lights up and Red for rest. Adjustable volume for beep at start and finish of each exercise and rest period. You can also program to beep at midpoint of exercise period.

They provide a separate heart rate monitor you have to wear. I haven't personally tried it.

Yes. Heart rate will be tracked even if you are standing still, and calorie burn is based on a complex algorithm based on your heart rate and time so it will work just fine in P90X. I've used it in various "classes" at the gym with great accuracy.

No, there are no pre-programmed profiles. In addition, when/if you pause the treadmill while you are using it, you must input the speed all over again. Other than this, this treadmill/desk is awesome and I would purchase it again in a heartbeat!

Yeah. You can set the time (length) of your workout. The timer will beep at the end of the workout.

I've used this watch for all different types of work outs. Anything from running outside, sprints on the treadmill, weight training, and crossfit style workouts. Overall I think the heart rate given is pretty accurate. As far as calories burned, I can't imagine it beig 100% correct but either way I'm sure it's a good estimate and always pushes me to work harder. It tracks your workouts and has some other features I haven't even used yet but for what I need I think it works great!

From what I have read and from my own personal use..i use this mainly for cardio of any kind (indoor or out). The wahoo app is great for tracking distance, avg. heart rate, calories and a few other metrics. In regards to using a heart rate monitor while weight training, i believe any heart rate monitor will not give you the metrics you are seeking. There is a lot of research going on with heart rate monitors and weight training, so i would read up on some of the cutting edge studies in medical journals etc.

Your question doesn't seem clear. What are you asking? For me, the Cyclocomputer does everything that I've programmed it to do. I haven't tried the heart rate monitoring and I don't care much about the altitude measurements. Laps aren't important to me either. I'm focused on the time, distance, cadence, average and maximum speeds. It's working fine.
