I am walking about 1 hour in the morning. However its alternating up and down hill with my average heart rate around 140bpm. Will this be for me?

I really don't know the answer to this question, all I can say is it will raise your heart rate if you have one of the higher resistance caps on. I tried to run with it on and it was quite difficult, I love the mask. I wear it around the house and it helped my running with out it

The mask will help you with any physical activity. Your morning walk will Be much more challenging with the mask!

Definitely, if you're looking to get more from your workout you should get the mask.

My husband asked me to buy this and he uses it on the elliptical and walking on the treadmill, approximately 30-45 minutes per day. He has been using the mask for about 3 weeks and says that he can tell that it's increasing his lung capacity. He bought it on the recommendation of an older friend who uses it daily who said it works for him. I can't say whether it will work for you but my husband is glad that he has it.

The readings on mine are pretty right on. You should bring it to your doctors office on your next visit and compare it to their reading right at that time.

It will alarm you if you are falling behind your chosen pace and it will also alarm if you are outside your chosen heart rate zone which is what I like about it.

I weigh 180 and it has no problem moving right along. Cant answer about the hills as we dont have any where we live.

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

Yes it does if you enter the info about your personal heart rate in your set up mode. Hope this helps

I would say that walking on your TrekDesk is not really a work out. It is movement. Sitting at my desk for 8, 10 or sometimes 12 hours a day was uncomfortable. I needed movement. I walk at 1-1.5 mph when I type and yes, I type I do not hunt and peck. When I am on a conference call and I am not typing I usually walk faster so that I do not answer emails and stay focused on the conversation.

I noticed something similar, and sometimes I get a reading that is actually 2x or half my actual pulse. Laying down or being very still helps it read your pulses better.

Dear Jamell: If you are just interested in walking you might want to buy the one less professional GPS watch. This one does run/bicycle/swim settings. You can, however, definitely use it for walking. It shows your pace, your distance, the duration, your heart rate, your average speed. I really like it!

I am less than impressed with product. Following a low carb diet and doing 30 to 60 minutes a day on elliptical at 80% of target Heart Rate and only down 2lbs over two weeks. I will now try the High Intensity Interval Training Sessions you have suggested in your final tip series which I appreciate getting, by the way ! Kenneth E. Nye

What happens if you do chg. it longer than the 5hrs. recommended ? Will it still work ?

I doubt it. Im 210 and think its perfect. I dont get the cramps in my shoulders from side sleeping and back sleeping is even better.

It's completely possible to type fast and walk. I type up to 120 wpm when I'm on a roll. What's not really feasible is to walk fast and type. I walk between 1mph and 1.5mph while I'm working--usually on the low end of that. I actually find the rhythm of walking keeps my writing going along at a faster pace. You really sort of forget you're walking while you work.

Yes. I never wake up on time and this thing makes me jump. As long as you don't mind the mini heart attack, you can absolutely wake up with this. There's also 2 settings loud and high. High is miserable but you'll have the biggest jolt of adrenaline as you try to recover from the heart attack.

Not sure. Try to check by taking actual pulse on wrist or machine at drug store. Have you set up your age and such? Mine was accurate but would lock up when I worked out.

I weigh 240--and though the belt makes a slight noise at the beginning, lifting up one foot to start walking stops it and gets the belt going. I typically walk 1.5MPH because I am using a computer (mouse, touchscreen), so it works better at that speed, but I did start out at .5MPH and it was ok!

My resting pulse if 56 and I have had no problems. Be sure that it is fastened snugly and that you do not have any lotion on. It does not work well if you are doing an activity where you will be flexing your wrist a lot (like yoga and weight lifting). Works well for running, cycling, etc.
