Raising your heart rate safely is one of the main benefits of using a wireless heart rate monitor. Believe it or not, over exercising your heart IS possible. Through exercise, you need to achieve your target heart rate – and keep it there for 20-25 minutes minimally.
Everyone should be exercising at their optimal or target heart rate in order to gain the most benefit from their exercise plan. However, there are many cases where you can do significant damage if you exercise beyond where your target heart rate should be.
Too much exercise can actually slow down your metabolism, just like when your not eating enough. For men and women, the combination of over-exercising AND dieting can lead to depressed thyroid activity, disturbed sleep patterns, loss of ability to concentrate, depression, irritability and a depressed immune system. If you don't have enough energy intake and, at the same time have excessive energy output, you may start to burn healthy lean muscle mass tissue for energy. Your ability to maintain intense physical activity therefore decreases, rather than improves.
Its a fine line that can be easily monitored and maintained with a good wireless heart rate monitor. The system usually consists of a tank shirt or a bra with soft wires woven throughout the fabric. A transmitter is attached to electrodes in an area that will be free of chaffing or constriction. The transmitter then sends your heart rate to a monitor – most often in the form of a watch. A good system will, besides tell you what time it is and your heart rate, give you information such as calories burned and the durations of your exercise. Many transmitter are also compatible with many analog heart rate monitoring systems – like those included on recumbent exercise bikes, treadmills and ellipticals.
Using a wireless heart rate monitor, you can check your heart rate as you steadily increase the intensity of your exercise during the warm up period until you attain your target heart rate. (Based on age, sex, weight) You can then monitor to make sure that you are maintaining your target heart rate for the required 20-25 minutes, and then gradually lessen your intensity for your cool down.
Not only does the heart rate monitor, enable you to achieve your target heart rate more accurately, but it also reminds you and guides you through the VERY important, but often ignored warm up and cool down periods.
