HRM and performance
I am 65 and have recently found the merit to using a Keiser exercisebike at a local rec center. My research shows that these have be around for 20years but, for me this was a new experience--these are a far cry from what wasaround 30 years ago. The shifting, via a small lever, provides a very goodemulation of road bike resistance. Also like the watts and calorie read outs.
The heart rate read out potential deserved my attention. Ifound that on the cheap a Polar FT7 with chest strap can be had for>$70. Now the questions.
The Keiser says that it will work with multiple brands oftransmitters, does anyone use this combination?
I had a quad-bypass 17 years ago, while I am not worriedabout maximum stress I do wonder has using a HRM improved your performanceand/or help you lose some pounds?
Being on fixed income, cheap is the right price for me. ThePolar seems to fit the bill.
