The Biggest Loser 3 TV Show – Why Heart Rate Control Can Optimize Your Workout

The heart is an amazing organ, and when you use it to monitor and gauge your workout it can have an incredible impact on your fitness and health. That is why they are so popular on fitness equipment.

Heart rate control and heart rate monitors became popular in the mid-90s. It is standard on many exercise machines including elliptical trainers, treadmills, and stationary bikes. A treadmill with a “heart rate monitor” only reads your heart rate by connecting with sensors on the siderails. In contrast, “heart rate control” dictates the extent of your workout by controlling the exertion level of your treadmill. Your heart tells the machine when to increase or decrease your cardio workout.
