hi bet

i%26#039;m roughly the same age - so if you need to test it before you give it to hubby, drop it round.

there will be guidelines in the instructions within the box and there are plenty of web pagesthat can also give advice

Your maximum heart rate is about 220 minus your age. The figures above are averages, so use them as general guidelines.

Note: A few high blood pressure medications lower the maximum heart rate and thus the target zone rate. If you%26#039;re taking such medicine, call your physician to find out if you need to use a lower target heart rate.

How should I pace myself?

When starting an exercise program, aim at the lowest part of your target zone (50 percent) during the first few weeks. Gradually build up to the higher part of your target zone (75 percent). After six months or more of regular exercise, you may be able to exercise comfortably at up to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. However, you don%26#039;t have to exercise that hard to stay in shape.

this is based on exercise but sex is like exercise

Give him a good seeing to and take a reading. You are actually far to old for that anyway!

Hi Betty,

IF the monitor is accurate (enough). Normal range is anywhere from 50 to 100 beats per minute @rest. Max heart rate is 220, minus your age. 85% of this is your target HR for workouts. Count the pulse manually to check your monitor, including while exercising. They tend to move around %26amp; bounce a bit.

As for the sex thing, leave the monitor off for that. %26quot;Something%26#039;s Gotta Give%26quot; was a movie...;-) (exercise is exercise. The same numbers apply.)
