DDPY Cardiovascular Fitness
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2020 6:53 am
Greetings!
So I have purchased a Polar H10 Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor (chest strap) for my yoga sessions. I like to mix it up with different styles of yoga, and find each to be very beneficial in many ways.
I have been doing DDP Yoga (a mix of yoga, dynamic resistance, calisthenics, sports therapy) which recommends practicing with a heart rate monitor. Here are the main analytics from my latest session:
Duration: 01:05:42
HR Max: 172 bpm
HR Average: 139 bpm
Calories burned: 749 calories
I'm curious if these results satisfy the targeted aerobic recommendations in a given cardio session in comparison to traditional aerobic workouts. I am impressed I can achieve such numbers and be so winded from such a low impact practice of basically standing still and moving slowly through challenging isometric poses. I am sweating, exhausted, and breathing heavily by the end of the workout, so I imagine there must be some validity to the cardiovascular benefits paired to this practice. Perhaps there are fitness experts here that could weigh in on this.
Regardless, I am pleased with these numbers and look forward to practicing more with the heart rate monitor to chart my progress. I definitely recommend the Polar H10 Bluetooth Heart Rate Monitor (thanks to Jeff Novick for the recommendation!).
