unsure Congratulations! You decided to take more care of Your health, to try something new, to become more conscious of Your body, to spend more time with Yourself and maybe with other people in new sporty circumstances, to do something pleasant and healthy.

How to do it well? Where is the border between too light and too vigorous training? Between being too tired, being bored and feeling creative tiredness which ensures You that You spent Your workout time productively, that You have enough strength to continue Your day, that You became healthier and stronger?

Which sport aims help You to develop Yourself physically and mentally and which extensively fatigue You and which relax You making You rather rest than train during workouts?

There are different ways to answer these important especially for beginners questions. You may ask Your trainer or more experienced colleagues for a piece of advice. You may adopt practices of other people or even sportsmen. You may develop Your knowledge on the issue and try to use it in practice. You may learn how to listen to Your body (tiredness, excitement, willingness to continue or to stop).

One of the most scientifically based methods is measuring Your heart rate continuously during workouts. You can easily determine Your heart rate zones (such as maximal, resting, aerobic, anaerobic etc. heart rate) and check in which heart rate zone You are.

Prevent overtraining and overfatigueMiHR

In this way You will avoid such usual mistakes of the beginners that are willing to quickly become healthier and stronger and spend too much time in maximum heart rate zone and are constantly exhausted, angry and even may injure themselves. You will not feel frustration due to the fact that the trainings do not make a difference because they are too light.

By monitoring your exercise intensity with your HRM, you can see if your workout is vigorous enough to make a differenceMiHR

Some people naturally tend to be more ambitious, some prefer easy and free conditions. Even knowing one’s habits and willing to do the opposite it is not difficult to make a mistake – to overstrain oneself or underfulfil the rational aims.

The impartial numbers of Your heart rate zones can be good advisers how to spend Your training time, which aims to pursue, how actively to move.

To know more about Your heart rate zones read short article.

Stay healthy and safe during your workout by managing high heart ratesMiHR

For having heart condition

unsure2

Our health may need special attention in some fields. It may be our heart that asks us to consult with cardiologist, to be aware of our heart’s condition, to check the heartbeat throughout the day, to take some actions if it is too high. Of course each person still needs to do exercises, to train one’s body. People having heart condition should train their body with due caution, which suggests tracking their heart rate during workouts.

Sometimes being aware of one’s every day heart rate and making every effort to normalize it may be very important investment.

Unfortunately, not everybody is aware of it and according to a recent oldman research (Norway) for every 10-beat rise in resting heart rate, the risk of dying from a heart attack rose by 18 percent in women and by 10 percent in men.

Your heart is one. It is worth Your attention.

MiBand 2: будет ли он считать пульс правильно?

EDIT: Отличная новость относительно измерения высокого пульса с помощью приложения Mi Heart Rate на Mi Band 2: теперь оно меряет без проблем. Пожалуйста, проверьте и сообщите мне о результатах в комментариях ниже!

Приложение Mi Heart Rate теперь поддерживает MiBand 2.

Команда волонтеров бета-тестеров говорит, что Mi Heart Rate хорошо работает с MiBand 2. Вдруг один из них, Радек Х., открыл, что независимо от того, сколько он бежал или прыгал, Mi HR считывал с MiBand 2 показания не выше 110 ударов в минуту. На основании своего опыта, он твердил, что тренировка была достаточно интенсивная (средний пульс должен был быть в среднем около 141 ударов в минуту). „Это явная ошибка в измерении” – подытожил бета-тестер.

Это заключение было подтверждено измерением пульса во время тренировки другого бегуна. Результаты работы приложения Mi HR на MiBand 2 были сравнены с результатами, полученными Mi HR на MiBand 1s. Ниже приведенные результаты ясно показывают, что утверждение бета-тестера верно:

Встал вопрос, вызвано ли это неправильным алгоритмом приложения и, следовательно, может и должно быть исправлено или проблема заключается в самом MiBand 2 и браслет нельзя использовать для проверки пульса во время занятий спортом.

Команды разработчиков и бета-тестеров приложения Mi HR стараются найти на него ответ и будут Вас информировать о том, удалось ли это совершить.

Вы можете присоединиться к бета-тестированию Mi HR на MiBand 2. Для этого напишите нам на адрес: support@mimhr.com

Дайте также знать, встретились ли Вы с подобной проблемой на MiBand 2.

Мы верим, что вместе мы можем это исправить!

MiBand 2: will it show correct heart rate data?

EDIT: Great news regarding high heart rate measuring by Mi Heart Rate app on Mi Band 2: now it works without problems. Please check it and let me know about the results in the comments below!

We have added support for Mi Band 2 in our Mi Heart Rate app.

The team of volunteer beta testers helped to found out that Mi HR app works with MiBand 2 well. Suddenly one of them, Radek H., explored that no matter how much he run or jumped the monitor shown no higher numbers than 110 bpm. Using his training experience he believed that the training was intensive (about 141 bpm average). “That is definitely wrong measuring – conclude the beta-tester”.

This conclusion was confirmed by the measurement during other runner’s workout. The results of Mi HR’s work on MiBand 2 were compared to the results gained in Mi HR app on Mi Band 1s. The attached results clearly show that beta tester’s suggestion is right:

The question arose if it is caused by wrong app’s algorithm and consequently could and should be corrected or the problem is in MiBand 2 itself and it is impossible to use it for checking Your heart rate during doing sports. The question still needs answer.

Mi HR support team looks for it and will inform You about any progress.

If You are interested to join testing Mi HR app on MiBand 2, please drop us a line at: support@mimhr.com

Please, let us know, whether You experienced the same problems with MiBand 2.
