PANIC- Heartrate calculation on the treadmill

happy2beTTC · February 2010

Now that I am pg, I am paying more attention to the heartrate counter while I workout...it says high- ranged from 165 to 190. I hear I should stay under 160 while pg....so now I am freaking out. Can those be trusted? It's my usual workout, you would think that would be ok

I've heard heartrate calculations on the treadmill are rarely accurate.

If you can chat while your working out you're fine. The heart rate recommendations are outdated.

Those are inaccurate. If you want it, I would suggest getting a HR monitor that you can wear- they are much more accurate.

Treadmills are not accurate at all when it comes to HR. I manually took my pulse today and it was 180, put my hands on the treadmills monitor and it said 133.

I invested in a heart rate monitor. I was told to keep my heart rate at or under 140. I tried to jog tonight and couldn't go slow enough - looks like I'll be hitting the elliptical for the next 7 months instead of running! I figure it's not worth pushing it.

the machines are not always accurate. if it is your normal workout you should be fine. if your worried take it easier.
