Heart Rate Monitoring
I never stop thinking about doing something creative, unique, and fun.
Last few years, I’ve been trying to describe how physically intensive wedding photography can be. But there was no intelligent way to show it, until now.
I started to wear a very sophisticated heart rate monitor and a foot pod to the wedding. This system measures my heart rate, total calories burned, distant I walked, and more. It also prints out the data on various graphs.
Below is my activity data from the wedding I did at Redlands on June 28, 2008. I started to record when I got out of the car at the wedding site. I stopped recording when I got back to my car (to come home). The red line shows my heart rate. Blue line shows my walking speed.
Detail shown in gray table:
Calories burned: 2754
Average heart rate: 112 bpm
Maximum heart rate: 168bpm
Duration: 6 hours 19 minutes
Distant walked: 5.8 miles
* Temperature at Redlands: 90+ degrees
I am planning to keep monitoring my physical activities. I find this very entertaining at this moment. Here’s a link to my project: Wedding Photographer’s Heart Rate Monitoring
