    For those with HRM -- do a 5-minute test with me?

    edited November 2024 in Fitness and Exercise
    Is anyone up for a little test? Five minutes of jogging in place. Nothing fancy. No butt kicks or sprints. Just a comfortable jog while staying in one spot. Start calculating right when you start jogging and stop right after you finish your jog. Report back with:

    HRM model
    Weight
    Height
    Resting heart rate
    Average heart rate during jog
    Max heart rate during jog
    Calories burned

    I'm curious to see the difference in stats with various HRMs. Thanks! x

      The stats above are my daughter's (thanks Meg). These are mine:

      HRM model = Polar FT4
      Weight = 290
      Height = 5'5"
      Resting heart rate = 80
      Average heart rate during jog = 142
      Max heart rate during jog = 158
      Calories burned = 25

      Mine don't really make sense in comparison to hers.

      You each have your own HRM's that are each correctly programmed with your current stats? Also, how long were you 'in the zone' - I think that makes a difference.

      Same HRM with adjusted stats for each of us. She didn't make it into the zone, I was in the zone for 3:49.

      A low resting heart rate is a GOOD thing...
    • Posts: 363 Member
      Oh okay good! I've noticed I can get my HR up fast but I also cool down really fast as well.

      Definitely a good thing. Fit people generally have lower resting heart rates.

      IT seems most of you have the FT4? I have "sportline F7" will post in a few ...It would be more interesting with different types of HRMs....This was an awesome idea BTW!

      Sorry I forgot what rate for in the zone ..
      if its 140 it was : 2 min 20 sec.
      I did my best effort not slow or really fast but definately felt it in my thighs since I worked them hard a few days ago.
