I'm 53 and my cardiologist says in better shape than some teenagers.. on a walk on the beach today my heart rate registered 200 bpm. Seriously? I'd be in serious trouble!

Agreeing with your cardiologist - wtg @Sherio211 🙂 !

Welcome to forums, share some of your fitness secrets (if it's diet, I want what you're eating).  Remember your tracker isn't a medical tool, just a guide - about a 5% either way uncertainty so pretty close; but not absolute.

Trust your physician, this chart says he/she is spot on with your condition: HR Goals
