HRM - When to buy one

[EL-HURT]

I Started spinning 4 weeks ago. Would like to do the EPR 58km in August. I do casual cycling on weekends in the Krugersdorp game reserve. +- 15km at a time.

 

Will a HRM help me at the spinning to see if I am at least improving ??????

 

What will I have to do to be able to manage that 58km......alive

IMO, if you want to ain properly during a spinning class, a HRM is a must have.

Hi,

 

HRM will help you to improve as you will be able to see where you are at.

It will not help you if you are still doing the same spinning class though because you did not change the training.

If you get a HRM get a training program that guide you at what Heart rate to ride on each day.

 

Spinning classes is just sufferfests that is not designed to follow on each other and you will get much fitter following a proper program.

 

A HRM will also assist you then to track your fitness and you can logg workouts on fittrack.co.za

I don't do spinning but using a HRM just for general training rides makes the difference. If your not buying something in the league of a Polar, then visist CWCylces and get their budget Sigmas.

It differs from person to person and everybody has a brand. My 1st 2 HRM was Polar and switched to Garmin for the past 3 years. I prefer Garmin beacause it has built in GPS and I have a speedcadence sensor for when I train indoors.

The ciclo is identical to the Sigma in features.
