Subject: Other uses for the heart rate monitor
I just got my first heart rate monitor and I must say that it is interesting watching my heart rate rise and fall as I do this or that. I have been curious about how my heart rate would respond to different things. I kind of want to wear it while commuting, while shopping *shudder* etc. So I'm curious what other activities people have used their monitors with.

Ok yes, I'll admit it. I am curious about wearing it while during sex, but i don't think the wife would be terribly amused by me checking the watch every few seconds.

Don't tell her! In fact your a brave man telling her you're having sex at all.

Oh, you mean with HER!

ha ha ha. You should post a thread about something that you have a passion for. Likely someone on BT will disagree with you and make it their goal to try and convince you that you're stupid. Use your HRM for that

You could always just check the avg. and max HR after the sex. Just sayin'...

Wear it while you sleep.  I do this every once in a while to see my resting HR.  And then I start to wonder why did max recorded HR get so high?  Bad dream?  Dog barking?  Alarm?

I've done it. Or been with someone who has. Or was it both?

Anyway, just have the readings recorded, you don't need to look at your watch.

Ha, you know what is even more distracting? Have HER wear it and hit the lap button everytime she umm... laps. So to speak. Now THAT'S a chart that's fun to download.

I've heard.

I'm glad someone brought this up.

I've spent hours and hours the last few days doing some minor renovations to my home, painting, sanding, taping, moving furniture, etc.

I thought it would be neat just to throw my HRM on and let it run all day to see approximately how many cals I've burned, but then I thought, "Naaaahhh, I'd be the only one in the world who would do something like that."

Thanks, guys!

I don't have one of thse fancy HRMs that charts your heart rate over time, otherwise I've thought it would be interesting to wear while substitute teaching. good classes, difficult classes, discipline, etc.

The Garmin 305 records HR data and outputs a little chart.  No need to look at your HRM while you, ahem.  Compelling idea, to be sure, I've never worked up the courage to actually do it.  Probably just afraid that the 2-minute chart would be really embarrassing.   

Now that might actually be interesting. (Possibly worthy of another thread to avoid a hijack)

Forget HR, post the stats off the Garmin on MotionBased and see how far you traveled and how much climbing was involved
