Don’t just burn calories — burn more fat calories and maximize aerobic function!
Without monitoring your heart rate, and knowing what the numbers really mean, you may be missing out on a powerful biofeedback tool. It’s not just precision guidance by your inner intuitive coach, but avoiding the risk of harm for both health and fitness.
After more than 40 years of developing HR monitoring programs that help individuals personalize their programs, the following factors have stood the test of time as the most important ones — when used properly. Knowing your HR helps and the process of HR monitoring is relatively simple.
HR helps take the guesswork out of exercise.
Most exercisers know about HR monitoring. But MAF HR monitoring is unique because it impacts so many aspects of health and fitness. These benefits include its use before, during and after exercise, and at rest. Whether you want to become a faster runner, a proficient walker, reduce/prevent injuries, improve fat-burning and weight loss, or just look and be more fit, you must personalize your program. The HR monitors your workout intensity so you can influence the metabolic response to each workout.
Aerobic benefits include:
- burning more fat calories
- quicker recovery
- avoiding exercise stress
