It really is a great tool, and I like how you pointed out that it can be used for both performance as well as maintenance on less intense days. As with all health and fitness related tools, using it properly means getting the most out of your efforts. Thanks again for your input, Scott! Scott,

As someone who trains for performance, a heart rate monitor helps me work out hard enough on hard days, but also ensures that I stay very aerobic on easy days and recover properly. You can also monitor your heart rate upon waking to see if you are overtraining. A consistent increase of 4 or 5 beats upon waking is a very good indicator that you need additional rest and recovery. Great post with good information about an invaluable tool that most people don't know about. http://thefitclub.blogspot.com A HRM is a great tool for measuring intensity, both high and low.
