Question about my new HRM (New Balance N4)

dwallior3326

Just went to Target and got the New Balance N4 HRM, it is originally $69.99 and right now its on sale for $39.99. So far it was easy to set up, but it wants me to put my "HI heart rate zone limit" and my "LO heart rate zone limit". Does anyone know anything about this? I'm just not sure what numbers to put in. And it also has you select Level 1,2, or 3 for the intensity of your workout. What should I set mine to? Any help would be appreciated!

This will give some means to setup those ranges. It just helps if you want to make sure you are staying within a certain range, and either not going too high because you are going for a long workout, or not too low because you really want to burn some calories.

Not really sure why it would ask for a range, and then ask for intensity too. That may be for after the workout, it will rate what just happened.

Oh, if in the gym, confirm the audible alarms are off. don't want people thinking your heart is about to explode.

This site is great for getting the rundown on what range you may want to workout in. even better are some Performance testing links here for testing your VO2 max, lactate threshold, and max heart rate. These can be great to do now and later to see improvement.

Oh, and don't be fooled by the "fat-burning zones" referenced. You will burn about the same number of calories of fat at higher heart rate, but because you are also burning more calories overall, the percentage will be lower, even if the quantity is the same.
