Anyone help with a calculation for max HR? I bought a HR monitor to help lose the 20lbs gained since 2006 and according to two quick tests (step up and stand up), my max HR is around 197.
I took the monitor out for a ride today (haven't had too many of these in awhile) and my HR peaked at 214 and my average HR for 1hr 22 minutes was 169, which zone 4 for a 197 max. I would probably be dead if the numbers are accurate. Anyone think the monitor is overcounting or is my max HR off?
