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.

There is a defect in these watches. Mine was the opposite my heart rate was rarely target or high when working out and ut qould say I was burning 10000 to 140000 calories on some days, which is impossible. I had to return mine.

I haven't had that problem at all. If anything, it is a bit inaccurate in the beginning of a run while my heart rate is just kicking in. After a few minutes at most, mine works well - as accurate as my Polar without the irritating strap.

Yes, but I don't think it's quite accurate. I have a very high max heart rate, and so it would tell me I was burning about 10% to 20% more than I was.

The key is make sure the watch is tightly secure and above the wrist bone; you may have to wait 10-30 seconds before it starts reading your heart rate before you begin. the heart rate on my current watch has been great for running and cycling. As a matter of fact, I can use it to monitor my heart rate while swimming, so instead of using the "swim" mode activity, which does not monitor heart rate, I use the "treadmill" mode activity. BUT, with that said, I did have a model which I had to return because the heart rate monitor was defective, sweat causing it to stop or have wild readings. Sweat should not impact how it works--you are suppose to sweat when you run.

If you are not an exerciser 5 minutes is equivalent to walking a mile and depends on your speed I like the automatic settings it has a mixture of speeds. Hope this helped live mine use it almost every day

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 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 lets me know what bpm after I have finished walking.I just bought another phone and I didn't realize it checks your heart rate, so I haven't been using it lately. I hope this answers your question.

Light jogging should be ok, and depending what you're carrying. Full out sprinting, I'd be certain everything inside won't bounce around.

Since the monitor picks up your pulse, I'd suggest that if it's not showing a regular beat, then go get a heart check-up. It's just my thought that it would give an irregular pulse rate.I just finished trying it on my husband, who DOES have an irregular heart beat & the little heart shows a "blip" every 3 beats, which would definitely be his irregular heart beat. Hope that helps. Just watch the little heart on your monitor.

Oh. I've been riding 30-40 minutes twice a day. In the morning I read/respond to email and drink my morning coffee and in the evening I read student submissions and web articles. The computer may be off [I have no way of testing it], but the timer is close to what the stopwatch on my watch says, and if the rest [speed, distance, calories] is within 10% of accurate that's fine with me. I think that they are close though.

My BP was very high when I started taking Hawthorne Gold {176/110} so I stated with 3 a day. One in the morning, one at noon and one at night. I have since reduced that down to just two a day. One in the morning and one at night. My BP yesterday was {122/79} so as you might guess I'm very happy with Hawthorne Gold.

I'm here now is summer, so......But my watch seems normal, I continue to use for 12 hours, it looks all right.In some cases, it will suddenly stop detection for a few seconds, or a sudden increase or decrease heart rate data, but I think it is due to changes of my wearing loose or posture.

Can you change the intervals? For example, 5 minutes walk to warm up then followed by 1 minute of running and 1 minute of walking alternating for the remaining 20 minutes?

What activity are you doing when "it starts reading"? 78-80 bpm seems pretty reasonable for a relatively fit person to exhibit when they leisurely walk across flat ground. That's where mine starts reading after I walk from my house to my garage and get ready to start my bike ride. My resting heart rate is about 51 bpm (just before I get out of bed). You can verify the accuracy by feeling your pulse with your index finger on your jugular, counting the number of beats in 10 seconds and then multiply that by 6. I routinely check my timex monitor like this and it's pretty bang on accurate. The only time it's not accurate is when I ride my bike in sub zero weather.

I don't feel the heart rate monitor is accurate or practical. While moving I am unable to get any readout. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone looking for something more than a time piece.
