Heart Rate Monitors

Heart Rate Monitors  

Most modern pieces of cardio equipment feature Contact Grips in the handlebars that measure your heart rate once gripped during a workout, which is great for a quick reading on the go. However, a downside of this is they may not be the most accurate readings. Instead, a chest strap or external heart rate monitor feeds back precise readings – please check they are compatible with your cardio machine before purchasing.  

Know How Hard You’re Working  

By targeting a specific heart rate reading that you want to hit during you’re workout, having this information at hand will tell you if you have to push a little harder or ease off to achieve your goal.
