So
How Is It Calculated?
To calculate your max heart
rate is very easy. I'ts simply 220 minus your age. The 60
second heart
rate is 50% (for the minimum) of your max heart rate and 85%
(for the maximum).
The min and max 10 second heart rate range is the 60 second
(for
min/max) divided by 6. For your exercise routine, you want
your
heart rate between the min and max - this is your zone.

Checking
Your Target
Heart Rate Zone
When
you are exercising you want to stay within your heart rate zone.
Although there will be times when you are working at the max heart rate
like doing spurts of sprinting or running, you want to ensure you do
not go over the max rate.
During your aerobic exercise
you will want to periodically check your heart rate. You can
do
this by taking a 10 second heart rate by counting the number of pulses
within the 10 second period.
Another method to get your heart
rate is to use a heart rate monitor. You can buy heart rate
monitor watches with features that vary from just measuring your rate
to tracking calories burned, programming workout routines and
downloading the data to your computer.
Cool
Down Your Heart
Rate
Cooling
down after your aerobic exericse is important to bring your heart rate
back to normal slowly. Cooling down allows the blood to be
redistributed that may have pooled up when you ended your workout.
If you do not cool down you may experience muscle stiffness
do to
excess metabolic waste that was built up in the muscles and not allowed
to be worked out of your muscles with a cool down period.
Learn
the
importance of exercising within your heart rate range and
understand how the target heart
rate calculator results should be used to maximize your
workout. |
