106 lbs in 7 months? Low carb? I bet you do feel better, Broc! I love racquetball! We should meet and play. You are only and hour away if that!

I would win.

That is freakin hilarious! When I took my heart rate and it was 109, I thought when I posted that number, someone will say what you just said ~ a man no doubt, that runs 2 miles in 10 min!

Your max heart rate is 220 minus your age (your real age, ladies, not what you think you can pass for), and your target heart rate during exercise should be 60-80% of that for good results. So admit that you're about 90, or pick up the pace.

Well. This was harsh.

So ~ my heart rate is 166? Or should be? Okay. So what is your point?

I am not 90 I'm not!

That is a fairly rough estimate and should not be taken too seriously. People react differently to workout. For some the pulse goes straight through the roof, for others the pulse stays fairly low, but the blood pressure increases. Of course under extended periods of workout, both the pulse and blood pressure go up.

But for example, my blood pressure doesn't want to increase before my heart rate is up at 190bpm. Obviously that is an an-aerobic training zone and should not be sustained for longer periods of time. But the point is, as a result my pulse will always be higher when compared to others, because normal exercise only increases the pulse for me, whereas for many others, it is more a combination of an increase in pulse and blood pressure. Of course the complete opposite could be true, the exercise only causes higher blood pressure while maintaining a fairly low pulse.

For an accurate measurement, a stress ecq should be carried out. It involves sitting on an exercise bike, with the upper body connected to a bunch of electrodes. The resistance of the bike is increased in certain intervals, so that it allows for accurate reading on how the body reacts to exercise.

I wouldn't worry about the heard rate alone, without the blood pressure is it almost meaningless.

I wasn't trippin. Mine isn't going to change even if I do manage some day to run longer. Or does it? I'm thinkin it changes if you run faster, right?
