Hello everybody. Sorry to have to use the translator as I don't know the language. I have a question related to my heart rate monitor. When rowing I hit it continuously with the handle. It is normal?
Thanks for your attention and best regards

Re: Heart rate
You should touch your chest/upper abs, so yes, maybe just lower or up your heartrateband?

Re: Heart rate
I sometimes hit my HR monitor, so I slightly lower the handle when I pull it. It is normal and nothing to worry about, but some people will pull higher up, which is also normal

I do the same exact thing - move to side.

Re: Heart rate
Thank you all for the answers. Moving the device up or down did not solve anything. But moving it sideways seems to have fixed it.
