It's not only athletes that benefit from using heart rate monitors. No matter who you are, if you have weight loss goals and want to improve your fitness, a heart rate monitor can be a great asset.
What is a Heart Rate Monitor?
A heart rate monitor measures and displays how fast our heart is beating per minute and is normally made up of 2 parts, a special watch and chest strap.
The chest strap detects electronic signals our heart makes when it beats and transmits this information wirelessly to the watch.
The benefits of using a heart rate monitor
The most significant benefits of using a heart rate monitor are that they help you:
- Stop exercising too hard
- Stop exercising too easily
- Monitor your fitness level
- Motivate you
- Achieve your goals faster and safer
- Plan your workouts
- To exercise more efficient and effective
- Train at your own ideal pace
In other words, heart rate monitors act like a personal trainer who comes with us wherever we go.
Dolphins Health Precinct recommend Polar Heart Rate Monitors, as they are reliable and 'sync' with all cardio machines (so you won't have to hold on to the handles to check your heart rate!)
Heart Rate Monitors can be purchased and ordered through DHP. If you are interested, please see reception.
