I have the Polar F6 and what I think is that it uses the 220-age as max.. This is good for people up to 30 OR over 30 but not in any kind of good shape. Pesonally I use the 210-(age/2) for the MaxHR which is for people over 30 and in good cardio shape.... but then.. it seems too high.. so I go 5 less... LOL well anyways.. the only place I cheat on my age is on my Polar.. I tell it I am 10 years younger.. and everyting falls into place..
by the way.. my polar also counts calories burned.. and putting it at 10 years younger it is much more realistic than when I look at the calorie counter on the eliptical at the gym, where I put my true age.. but spend all of my time in the red zone..
TONY ... we call 60-70% aerobic as well It uses the aeorbic system.. just low intensity..
