Heart Rate

[andyfuller]

After readings Peter's blog post about wearing a heart rate monitor when he traded last week:

I thought I would whack mine on just now, think after wearing it for 2 races I will spend some time wearing it for full days of trading to look at the results.

I had one in my cupboard that I got with my running watch but don't think I have worn it before.

Just glancing at the watch I saw my resting heart rate was around 50 bpm and I saw at one stage on the 17.20 my heart rate was a little over 100, nearly doubled!!!

Wondered if anyone else had tried wearing one? Will be interesting to read the results from Peter when he tries it again.

Think I will give it a crack but resting heart rate at 50BPM is impressive!

Mine is in low sixties but I am getting old - last week I got hammered on a trade by using the Betfair SP when I was going for it! My language was colouful at that stage and I would have had a large spike!

My wife is studying for her doctorate (back specialist) so me being her guinea pig could be of use to her

i've got enough to worry about without adding more stuff! i'd rather not know.

I'd rather not know. What I do know though, is the level of my bad language has increased 10fold since I started trading

I could never make a 5min video like Peter does, without slipping in at least 2 F's and 1 C
