Should I be concerned that my heart rate got to 390 during a pure cardio workout this morning?

    Buy some new batteries for your hrm ;) I don't think you'd be sitting here typing away.

    Yeah. Even putting my monitor next to my Plasma TV (which emits the same pulse) I only get about 285 from it. Your heart would probably explode at 390. Battery change time. :)
  • Not physically possible. So no you shouldn't worry ;)

    Are you sure you weren't looking at the calories?? It's not possible to reach 390. My chest strap won't even register if I don't put water on it.
