| Big disparity between my exercise HR and wife's Posted: 28 Apr 2021 10:46 AM PDT My wife & I have been doing weight/HITT training (21 day fix, 80 day obsession) for a year now, we're in OK shape, although I have further to go on weight loss. We're both 35, my BMI is 31 and hers is 24. No major health issues although we don't push it as hard as possible because we don't want to mess up our knees or back, which flare up a little sometimes. Wife has mild allergic asthma and doesn't ever score as high on peak flow meters as me. We are not runners, we don't have active jobs, but we do consistently get 90 minutes of light to moderate exercise per day. When we work out, if I don't push insanely hard, my HR will be comfortably in the 100-130 range. My wife, on the other hand, is consistently between 130 and 160, often hovering between 155-165 on harder workouts if she doesn't take a break. We seem to be putting in comparable effort, but she has trouble keeping her heart rate down, whereas I have to go intentionally aggressively, trying to spike my HR as high as possible, to get to 150. When I'm at 150, I'm insanely sweaty, out of breath, lungs burning, everything feels awful - I just don't like working out enough to stay right there, and I'm worried about straining something and getting sidelined, so I usually try to keep it around 120-130. Whereas when she's at 160, she doesn't seem that sweaty, she can still talk OK, she doesn't seem to be quite at death's door, but she's worried her HR is too close to the hard limits. We'll run all this by the doctors next time, but curious if this happens with anyone else. [link] [comments] |
