I do hot yoga 5-6 days a week, will it be effective monitoring my practice?

Not sure what hot yoga entails, but I would wager that the answer is no. All of these devices rely on accelerometers that work best for certain kinds of movement. For example walking and running are easy, but weight lifting or say walking while pushing a stroller where your arm is more still produce poor to varied results. The programmers are getting better at the algorithms that work with these electronics, but there is still a long way to go to record your movement when doing something like yoga that does not entail a lot of horizontal movement through space.

Not really as the primary function of this bracelet is a pedometer the only excersize it accurately monitors is walking or running. However you can easily manually enter excersize that is not recorded. So it is great to monitor casual activity and sleep cycles. So will it benefit you? Not for yoga. But in overall calorie and health? Absolutely, but only if you put in a little effort.

Unfortunately no. One of my favorite things to do as well. It really only tracks exercise that involves standard arm swing (walking/running). Though you can put it into active mode and manually record but no way to distinguish regular yoga from hot yoga

The UP band itself won't really monitor your practice for hot yoga. In essence it only tracks movement/steps. You can record your exercise in the UP App separately and I assume based on all logged workouts plus steps it provides feedback specific to you.

It works with movement. correct me if I'm wrong, but I think of yoga as a lot of position holding. My guess would be no.

You can certainly time the workout, but It only measures steps. For instance, when I'm on the recumbent bike...it is not as accurate as jogging or elliptical.

Yes it should be fine. I am guessing you are worried about it being damaged by the sweat. I have not had any issues with it when I work out and sweat or even when I use it around the pool or water. So it should be fine.

No. It just monitors actual steps you take. Swimming for example would not be monitored either.

You can monitor frequency (days), total time (per practice) and calories burned during yoga. You set the band to activity mode ( by pushing button on band) and it will time you during yoga until you take the band out of activity mode. Then you would set that timed activity to yoga in the app...it let's you select an effort level...I would imaging that hot yoga is a "in the zone" effort. Then in the app on your trends you can look at a graph of "workout time" so you can keep track of how many minutes and how many days across a week and month you practiced yoga. By selecting the level of effort in the app it will calculate calories burned too.

You go at your own rhythm and intensity. I take classes with it 2 times a week.Not hard to control or manage

The board is a little bigger than my mat. So as long as you stay on your mat in down dog, you'll be good. Seriously, this was the best $100 I've spent on anything yoga related.

I don't know which is the best protocol after a hot yoga class..but I allways unroll for many hours when I'm getting home... and with ashtanga practice I use a blanket for sitting poses.. so I unroll the blanket too in home after the clases. Bless

Hi Claudia, No I do not do all 6 workouts every day. I still have a ways to go to get to that level of fitness. I typically do 3 during the week (plus the warm up and cool down) and on the weekends will do 4 -5 but have not done all 6 yet. Also, I do not use the total flex more than 2 days in a row - on alternate days I either do cardio or take a rest. I hope this helps. Good luck on achieving your goals!

The short answer is - YES. The long answer, you can actually configure it to show many things while you are doing your physical activities, for example your average heart rate, how long you've been performing the activity etc. You should check out the videos in YouTube that shows you how to use it, very helpful in teaching you learn how to use this heart rate monitor.

Your arms and legs 'motorize' the Magne Trainer. Really enjoy mine! I saw and felt results the first week.....Good luck.

I have never had any problems with my Hot Yoga Mat and I tend to be sensitive to a lot of things - my nose runs whenever I go outside. I just love it!!!

Almost all movement. Not just your arm movement when sitting at. Deak, but when you're in motion, it know. It definitely counts walking at a slow pace but I do not see it counting yoga.

I think so. I was able to do a very active yoga practice on it and it stayed in place.

I don't think so. It has other charts but not that. I do like mine. I go to the gym. Since I move between exercises, a chart for me would be somewhat erratic. However, it does a good job of measuring my effort in three levels of intensity based on the percentage of maximum heart rate. At the end, I can see the maximum and average heart rate for the day. Good luck.

Yes it will. In a week you'll see a difference. If you exercise the difference will be even better.

I don't know about yoga... Buti do know that when working in my woodworking shop it did help me

Yes!You can make your "training" on "intervals"..Once there you can set:Warmup (distance or time)1. Work (distance or time)2. Rest (distance or time)# SetsCooldown (distance or time)For any of the goals/training, you can set it to notify you via vibration or sound or both.Hope this helps!

Well, consistency is key. I wouldn't expect anything drastic. After you get over the slight bruising that will occur the first days and keep going there will be results. I could never get to more than 10 minutes or so at a time so I just include it as one part of a diversified routine to keep from getting bored.

Absolutely, put it on, a t shiry and a sweater, you want to get as hot as possible, and remember to always have water with you, go for a half hour run, start off with 5minutes if you do not have the stamina, or even walk. The point is to get moving and your body sweating. Eventually work your way to an hour or more aday and you'll see your waist trim down in no time. This product helps your midsection sweat more, therefore allowing your body to loose more water content in that area (fat.) I hope this ansers your queation. ( along with a respinsuble diet and exersize program everything works!)

I used to do only step, so I was using it an average of 3 x's a week. Now I mix it up with other exercise tapes, so use it about once a week. I do very basic step DVD's and I will be 70 yrs old in 2 days, and it always gets my heart rate up.
