Heart Rate Monitors for Women

When doing exercise, using a heart rate monitor is very important. Using rate watches and other monitoring devices will help you to keep your heart at a healthy level for weight loss and optimum performance. Anyone training for a sport, working out and trying to lose weight, or simply trying to get in good shape should consider using heart rate watches and monitors in their training.

Heart rate monitors for women are very different than heart rate monitors for men, and women should look for heart rate monitors designed specifically for them. While the differences are not large, it is better for women to use heart rate monitors designed for them in order to obtain the maximum efficiency from their heart rate monitors.

To be able to understand the difference between heart rate monitors for women and men, you need to understand the differences between a man's heart and a woman's heart. The difference is that a man's heart is roughly 25% larger than the heart of the average woman, meaning that the man's heart doesn't have to work so hard to pump the same amount of blood as a woman's heart.

Due to the extra amount of blood that men's hearts can pump, the man has the capacity to be stronger and faster. That extra blood pumping capacity of the heart is the reason that men are nearly always faster than women. Another reason for a different design of heart rate monitors for women is the fact that women's hearts can beat up to 6 bpm faster than a man's heart.

Usually the differences between the man's heart rate monitor and heart rate monitors for women are simply the design and style of the monitors. Usually heart rate monitors for women are made into heart rate watches to be worn comfortably on the woman's wrist, and they are made to be worn on the woman's wrists which is smaller than a man's wrist.

Another design of the heart rate monitor for women is the type that is worn on the chest, and in order to be comfortable for women to wear the design needs to factor in the woman's bra. Men's heart rate monitors are designed to wear differently on the chest, simply because heart rate monitors for women need to be worn comfortably under the woman's bra. Strapless heart rate monitors for women have also been invented in order to help deal with the problem of women's heart rate monitors being uncomfortable when worn with a bra.

Another difference between heart rate monitors for women and men is the color factor, something that men usually couldn't care less about. Men's heart rate monitors are usually a black, grey, or dark blue, and men don't usually care what the color is. Women tend to prefer a more aesthetic device, and heart rate monitors for women have been designed in different colors and styles to match a woman's aesthetic tastes.

Regardless of the style, color, or design, heart rate monitors for men and women function along the same principals, and you can use either men's or women's heart rate monitors to help you in your exercise program.

What are the heart rate and blood pressure guidelines for normalcy?

I recently had a bp of 220/119 with a heart rate of 136. The ER seemed concerned but did not do anything much. I am waiting for a Dr. appt with my GP.

What is your b/p normally? Did you ever find out the cause of your high b/p? What did the ER do for your b/p? Did a ER doctor give you any kind of prescription? Does your family have a history of hypertension? Have you ever had a abnormal high b/p?

There are different kinds of risk factors that cause a rise in b/p, such as stress, weight, diet, kidney problems, and the list could go on and on, but being there is not very much information provided its hard to assess.

Keep in mind everyone's body is different, including what some people consider the 'norm' b/p. The 120/80 is a just a average b/p reading, doesn't mean its normal for you. However the concern with rising b/p is it puts you @ risk for strokes, heart attack, kidney problems, because high blood pressure, puts pressure on all your vital organs (heart, liver, brain, and especially the kidneys) and causes damage to them.

I want to give you an example of how b/p works, using the b/p you had in the ER which was 220/119. The 220 represents the systolic pressure, and the bottom number represents the diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure of 220 is the amount of force (pressure) you are pushing against your arteries, and to your organs (the heart, kidneys, etc). The diastolic pressure of 119 tells the LEAST amount of pressure that was on your arteries when your heart was relaxing. Think of this as a pump when you squeeze something, then let go release pressure, and then squeeze again.

Basically there was little time for your heart to relax in between pumping blood, because of the abnormally high b/p. That may explain why your heart rate was accelerated, but there can also be other factors that can cause that to occur.

I assume that ER at least got that under control, before you were released and sent back home. I would hope so.

B/P is considered high when b/p reaches 140/90, then you are considered hypertensive (high) and anything below 90/60 is considered hypotensive (low). So if you are looking for something in the 'norm' anything between those ranges would be considered that, but keep in mind everyone is different, and you should ask the doctor what is right for you.
