I just bought the polar ft7. I put in all my data. Age , weight etc. It doesn't ask me for my resting heart rate just my max heart rate and when I do the math that's 191. On the hrm that is 99%, that seems high. Help

Well max HR, unless you've had a max HR test, will be a calculated/predicted max. So you said you did the math and came up with 191bpm... that should be 100%. So, yeah 99% is right for that.
What you can glean from there is a rough estimate of where you want to be working: from 60-80% is considered your aerobic zone. So roughly 115bpm-153bpm. That's where you want to spend the majority of your workouts. Then you can do a "hard workout" to push your anaerobic threshold by working in the 80-90% range but only once you have a solid aerobic base.0 -
