Here is my question of the day. MY HR monitor said I was avg 145 HR. I took my own HR at my neck 4 times during the workout for 15 sec x 4. I got HR of 164, 182, 192, 172 for avg 177.5

SO I have an AVg 177.5 or My HR Monitor of 145 Avg both of those together and I had a 161.5 avg.

What should I go with? My Own HR Avg 177.5, HR Monitor 145 or avg of both 161.5?

Thank you

    You need to find a setting where you can get an accurate heart rate reading, and then test both your pulse taking method and your heart rate monitor against the accurate result. You could do this perhaps by borrowing another HRM, or by having a competent third party take your pulse.
