Thank you ! I needed a clear explanation of this and you nailed it !💗

[jamesrimes]

nice video, but where do you get the intensity?

[davidsong]

Your RHR is 45?? You must be an athlete!

[gustavoramosbezerra]

Absolutely ! PRECISE AND CONCISE !
Thank YOU so much .

if we want to find the intensity of the exersise is it correct if we:
1.find our RHR
2.do an exersise for 12 min
3.and when we stop exersising(for example in 6 min or 8 min or 12 min) we will see our heart rate and that will be our THR.
4.after we will have to calculate the intensity from the formula that you told us
is that correct if i want to find my exersise intensity or the heart rate that i have in 6 or 8 minutes is not the THR?

You forgot to put multiply by .60, thats why the number gets big

[EnduranceTrainingVlogs]

why you are not using max hr from your activity tracker ? I am 30 and my max hr from my Garmin is 203 bpm, so can I take that into that consideration or should I go with 220 -age = 190, that's huge difference.

[Stephan]

This was mostly good. When you said 60 shouldn't it be 0.60?

[iamapupster]

Excellent but just use one marker. The lid removal and reapplication is irritating

[highlanderthegreat]

most other trainers say NOT TO USE 220 but to use 180

[muhammadabdullahbangash]

Multiply by .60 not 60. If you multiply by 60 the whole number just goes very big

[stephenhogg]

So, is it or is it not a percentage of an individual's maximum heart rate?

[Zarthustr]

newer maxHR formular: maxHR=208-(0.7*40)

[kanishapatel]

Can u please explain the reason of taking 60% intensity?

[elmanahmed]

Hey Andreas, do you really have RHR of 45 bpm? Are you an athlete by any chance? Usually athelete has RHR of 40-45. It means you have EXCELLENT cardiovascular fitness, if you know the physiology of systole and diastole. Average people have RHR of 60-100 bpm as you know. Below 60 can also be termed as Brady Cardia, but in your case I highly doubt it's brady cardia!

Hi there, what is your advice when someone is on a betablocker medication?

[JBird-xyhb]

I did this right but there was no point because after it said he “didn’t except late work”

[Yahwa-ff]

Which rate for reaching fat burning zone with this module

[VeraSimovska]

RHR of 45 bpm would be morning pulse, 5 min. after awakening!

[juwonabu]

hi, I need help on calculating someone heart rate and if they're suitable for particular training zone and I'm unsure about how to calculate it. The person RHR is 85 and she's 44 years old. How do I calculate the best heart rate for the training zone?
