Wouldn’t it make sense to have a Peloton class dedicated to getting max heart rate info? I use an Apple watch which is accurate. Why would I want a wearable from Peloton that would likely be overpriced and average in quality? I don’t really want to spend more on Peloton accessories. I like how the Apple watch interfaces.
Did the max heart rate thing on an elliptical a few years back and despite all the guides which say it drops year over year, it's been pretty steady. It's still 15 BPM higher than the highest calculated score. On my Garmin I have switched to Karvonen Zones and generally they better fit how I feel. I agree on wearables. I think Peloton should put out power pedals for those of us on non-Peloton bikes. I have a not cheap bike with better fit options, and don't want to switch.
nice, yes heart rate drop isn't necessarily gradual for everyone, and it stay steady for many years and sometimes can drop a bit more than usual. The power pedals unfortunately doesn't sound like something Peloton would do... but maybe you can get lucky!
@@ocaatgamesHmm, I’ve not seen that formula before. Important to keep in mind that not all beta blockers will have the same effect. I’m on a beta blocker that has had little or no effect on my max hr. Recent treadmill stress test max hr 166, formula you’ve suggested gives max hr for me of 119. I’d suggest that because of varying effect of different beta blockers, that, with cardiologist’s consent, a max hr test (running, treadmill or bike) is the only reasonable way for people on beta blockers to know their max hr. Stay healthy!
None of those max HR formulas are correct for me! I’m 34, about to be 35 (does the date and time of your bday matter in the aging process?) and my actually recently tested max HR is 191, but I believe it may still be 2-4 beats higher than that depending on environment, hydration, etc. These formulas would say my MaxHR should be either, 186, 184.2, 180.8, etc. But I believe I understand why the CDC, AMA, Mayo Clinic etc. suggest you use those formulas. It’s like you said, consult with your doctor if you think this might be a problem for you with any potential heart condition. They just don’t want people going out and thinking they have a higher maxHR than they do, and having their heart rate run away from them.
Oh no, you said men and women are different? How dare you? Lol!! Sarcasm of course, now if we can relate this to that community of athletes that want to mix genders. Thanks for your video.

Hi. Could you tell me if the peloton needs to be lubed periodically?

The watches aren’t that accurate no matter what brand. Chest straps work the best. Go garmin too. 👍🏻

How do you calculate MHR if you are on a drug that slows your HR, like a
beta-blocker?
Hmm... Not sure about that one. You might just need to use a formula but I’m not sure if that is even useful in your case.
I was wondering about the same thing
HRmax predict:
Without beta-blocker medication = 206.9 - (0.67 x age)
With beta-blocker medication = 164 - (0.7 x age)

Indoor/outdoor cyclist here. Mostly outdoor, and Zwift with Wahoo Kickr trainer.
Will an FTP test give an accurate max heart rate? I do these occasionally anyway to track my progress
It’s possible but usually not, as you can usually get a higher heart rate with a series of shorter 1-5 minute sprints.
Thanks dude! I learned something.
Happy to help 👍
