(My watch has a button that I lay my finger on. It beeps after a few seconds and provides a reading.) Then I click on the calorie counter. After a couple of minutes of activity I measure my heart rate again. Then I check it about every 10 minutes (depending upon my level of activity).<br /><br />For instance, when I play tennis, if I don't measure my heart rate after I begin, my calorie count will move at a tortuously slow pace. But if I measure it every 5 to 10 minutes it captures my heart rate more effectively and my readings are in line with charts that tell you how many calories should be burned while playing tennis.<br /><br />I didn't think I had to keep checking my heart rate either after I begin to exercise. I assumed that the watch would continue to do it for me. But if I don't I will get false readings. <br /><br />I hope you keep us posted on your experiment. I may look into using the chest band/watch combo as well.Jiujitsu365http://jiujitsu365.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-73590213866234895662011-07-21T11:17:07.046-05:002011-07-21T11:17:07.046-05:00Not sure what you mean.. can you explain?

Do you mean I have to "self assess" my heartrate or what?<br /><br />While my resting HR is pretty low (58-60) I am usually in the 150-170 range during my conditioning class.Georgettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08705282002904234217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-60029577295792036542011-07-21T00:34:08.941-05:002011-07-21T00:34:08.941-05:00For the monitor (watch specifically) to gauge a mo...For the monitor (watch specifically) to gauge a more accurate reading you have to periodically assess your heart rate. Otherwise it will continue to count your calories as if you are just beginning to exercise. (If you have a relatively low heart rate your monitor will frustrate you to no end.)<br /><br />The 'monitors' actually guess how many calories you are burning over a period of time rather than provide a real assessment.<br /><br />I hope that helps...Jiujitsu365http://jiujitsu365.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-7620105696007699952011-07-20T10:06:52.358-05:002011-07-20T10:06:52.358-05:00Oh my gosh!

And isn't it great about the Give a Gi project?!<br /><br />Oh yeah, I've got one of those medical posts that you like coming out later today on the new website, and a welcome letter from Jeff Messina to Girls in Gis tomorrow. I saw your name on the guest list!
