When your heart rate does not go up

[CDPotier]

I am doing an older Christ Taylor step workout called Totally Cool Step on an eight inch step, and my heart rate is not going anywhere. Even with all the leaps and pivots, it is still only 125. Do you think that there is something wrong with my Polar 4T heart rate monitor, and it is new. What could it be? I don't even feel like finishing the workout, but I am since I am twenty minutes into it.

Have you been doing any HiiT or Tabata workouts lately? I find if I do those frequently, I have a really difficult time getting my heart rate up. It's a double-edged sword for me because I know my body has become more efficient, but my calorie burn goes down a bit.

Did u set it with hight and weight? It doesn't soound right to me. Unless youu aare stopping to "learn" the workout. I don't? Know tbbough cause I tried that o e and didn't get my heart. Rate up simply because I. Was confused lol. Had too stare a lot. I think id like it if I could learn it. Hopefully someone who knos the reutine can tell u better then I.. sorry not much help.

I was doing Totally Cool Step

on an 8 inch step, and my heart rate was going nowhere. I switched to Totally Hot Step, and my heart rate went way up. I have no idea what was going on. I am sick of Muscle Max, but my budget won't allow me to buy Pyramid now.

I also do Christi Taylor's workouts and they rarely raise my heart rate into the fat-burning zone.
