The Flutter Over Heart Rate
April 30, 2008
Source: New York Times
I have a confession to make. I get so competitive about heart rates when I am at the gym that my husband will not tell me his.
“How was your workout?” I’ll ask when we get off of Spinning bikes or elliptical cross-trainers. He’ll reply that it was good, he worked at “80 percent.” But 80 percent of what? I want to know what he thinks his maximum is. But he won’t say.
Of course, I know it’s ridiculous to think that a higher maximum heart rate means that I’m a better athlete than my husband.
