1) First, find your resting heart rate. To find your resting heart rate, place
your pointer and middle finger on the inside of your wrist or on the side of
your neck just below the jaw line. Feel the pulse and count the number of
beats for ten seconds. Multiply this number by six for your heart beats per
minute.
2) Next, determine your target heart rate zone. To find your target heart
rate zone, use the chart opposite to find the point where your resting heart
rate intersects with your age. Use the row closest to your age. For example,
if your resting heart rate is 65 and you are 35 years old, your target heart
rate zone is 21-28.
3) Check your 10-second pulse once or twice during your workout. The
number of beats should be within your target heart rate zone to maintain
optimal fat-calorie burn.
WARNING: Persons over 50 years of age or with existing medical conditions
MUST NOT EXCEED the pulse rate schedule for their age group.
