Obviously, all the formulas out there are just a guide and cannot apply to everyone. What I'm hoping to accomplish with a HRM is to establish a target zone for myself.
From what I'm reading it is best not to constantly be working out at your MHR which is something that I tend to push myself to do all the time. I want to see if working in a target zone helps me feel less depleted after workouts therefore I'll be able to work out more often rather that feeling too tired the next day....Besides, I love new toys.
BTW, how do you feel about wearing that strap across your chest?
