Setting Garmin Heart Rate Alerts. Hit Your Target Heart Rate Zone

[@mellemelmo]

Ahh! I couldn't find this anywhere in the Garmin instructions! Two minutes into your demo and my heart rate alert was set. Thank you thank you thank you

[@DynamicRunningFitness]

Glad it helped!

Just dropping a thanks for this! I'm 42 with POTS and just started cycling properly as I'm having trouble walking and doing other exercises. Today I went out for 30 minutes on an actual tour and was so happy to be out I decided to push myself, but found out later that my HR was 170 for most of the ride and went to 178, which is exactly my highest safe HR. Needless to say, I didn't feel great afterwards! Now I have a zone 4 alarm set up within my perfect ranges and I feel so much safer having it there. Thankyou!

Best explanation in the entire internet. Thank you so much

[@alastairdickins]

Thanks so much. I've been uttering unsuccessfully to find this before I buy one, I'm grateful for your help.

Is there a way to decrease the time the watch takes to send the alert? No point if my HR has gone overboard and it only tells me 30 seconds later (:

[@jackrabbit0777]

I have a Forerunner 45; and this is exactly what I was looking for! Different watch, but rather the same. Thanks!

[@DynamicRunningFitness]

Glad it helped

That was awesome. Just what i was looking for! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love your clips and they are really helpful. My Garmin Fenix 7 Solar stopped record my cycling and running V02 max. Any idea how to reset this?

[@annasimpson5500]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@amidalimuradov5742]

Good job! Thanks a lot for detailed explanation!

[@maxbiddulph3286]

This was really helpful thank you

[@fabi_lw]

Very helpful. I do my basic endurance aerobic training on the treadmill and was searching for an alert. Do i have to set it manually everytime or is it set until I change it?

[@JennySimon206]

Can u set these alerts for at rest? Set alerts all the time? Do u know anything about ME/CFS pacing? Need the watches to do something very specific.

[@DynamicRunningFitness]

Hi Jenny. As much as Garmin state that there devices are not intended for medical purposes, compatible models do have an 'Abnormal Heart Rate Alert' function. You will get a notification if your HR goes outside of set levels.

[@FloorWipingMoves]

How many times does the heart rate alert go off? Is it every 30 seconds or can you change it to shorter intervals?

[@pkosarev]

Can I also add a sound alert?

[@TheNorthernHistorian]

Very useful, thanks

[@DynamicRunningFitness]

Glad it was helpful!

[@benjisaidwill]

Hey bud, great video, does the Garmin venu sq have that feature too?

[@dawnbigelbach8885]

Is it possible to have it notify you on the phone with a tone or something instead of just a buz on the watch?

[@simonlee1557]

Really good thank you

[@DynamicRunningFitness]

Thanks very much, you're welcome

[@shaunc7369]

Hey, is there a way to change the type of alert? I would just like the watch to vibrate, but I get a voice through my headphones - if Im just above the HR zone and dropping in and out of the right zones, the voice interrupting gets v annoying indeed!

[@izmahoby]

Can I turn on or off these alerts after the run has started?

[@salperruccio5601]

Hi, I do not have the same functions on my garmin instinct 2X solar. I do not have settings.

[@gnielse]

Is there a way to do this with an Apple Watch?

[@mr.e2961]

Is that for any Garmin watch?

[@abd-ix5qd]

Does this feature also work other slimmer garmin fitness tracker like the vivosport

[@bradd5961]

Can you do this with Polar as well? Thanks

[@DynamicRunningFitness]

I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with Polar devices although they are similar devices so I should imagine they will have a similar feature.

I want todo cardio but focus on reading a book. I want an alert and it just alerts me to increase tempo. Why do I seem seem be the only one? Fitness people look at me like I'm crazy cause want to sit on an exercise bike and read a book and let all this tech around me do the job of keeping me going fast enough.
