Maximum and minimum range on heart rate monitor
by 88
(US)
On my heart rate monitor I can set both low and high range.My Maf setting for max is 133 what would be the low setting?

Hi, your MAF range is 10 beats. Since your max MAF heart rate is 133 then your range would be 123 - 133.
As a side note, some people like to set their max heart rate alert a few beats lower than their actual max MAF heart rate. This is because once you have stopped or slowed down, your heart rate can continue climbing a few beats. Usually this only lasts for a few seconds though.
