With the Garmin being on my wrist I find it handy to check my Heart Rate for cycles and other activities without needing to look at my phone.

I decided to get this as I had heard a lot of good things about them and for me its a lot quicker to set up, as the WAHOO was sometimes difficult to find a bluetooth connection particularly if I was using it outdoors for other activities (not sure if this is only my experience?).

I used this to track my DDP Yoga workouts and it seemed to give me an accurate reading, I used it for a good couple of years until recently I changed to a Garmin Vivoactive 4s smart watch. I started out with a WAHOO fitness HRM because this is the one recommended alongside the DDP Yoga app, this is a strap HRM that goes around your chest and connects to the app via bluetooth. Using a HRM allows you to gauge whether you need to put a little more effort into the workout or if you need to relax a little to bring your heart rate down, this is where the modifications come in handy for DDP Yoga if you are in a lunge position and your heart rate is reaching over your fat burning zone you can always step in or drop to a knee and if its low and your trying to get it up there lunge a bit deeper! It is also amazing to see how high you can raise your heart rate by standing in one place engaging your muscles and moving your arms with dynamic resistance, which is why DDP Yoga is unique you are able to get similar results to a cardio workout without impacting your joints in the same way you might if you were going for a run or lifting weights. I started doing DDP Yoga without a heart rate monitor for the first 6 months and it made sense to spend time getting to know the workout, the names and positions and then once I was familiar I introduced a heart rate monitor to take my practise to the next level. This method of working out can also be transferred into other forms of exercise, when I am going out on my bike I now keep an eye on my heart rate because if I am going up hills and I can see my heart rate rising too high I slow right down concentrate on my breathe and get back into my fat burning zone. This is not the case after a DDP Yoga workout if you stay within your guided zone you will feel revived and energised after a workout and not burnt out. When we go above this zone for too long we put a lot of stress on our bodies and this is when our bodies are more likely to hold on to fat and just burn sugars, which is why sometimes after an intense workout you can feel hungry right afterwards because your body has just burned through all the carbohydrates.

Within this range it is called aerobic exercise which we all know as cardio, aerobic means with air (oxygen) so when you are working out within this zone your heart rate is elevated enough to allow your body to burn fat but also keeps your lungs and circulatory system healthy as you are getting plenty of oxygen into your body. The formula to figure this out is 180-your age, then that number - 20 and that becomes the range you want to be working out at especially if weight loss is your goal.

So heart rate monitors are recommended with DDP Yoga and this is because there is an optimum fat burning zone that you can get into during your DDP yoga workout.
