TARGET HEART RATE
Finding your pulse :
To make sure your heart is beating in its target zone, you’ll need to know how to monitor y our heart rate. The easiest way is to feel
the pulse in the carotid artery on either side of y our neck, between the windpipe and the large neck muscles. Count
the number of
beats in ten seconds, and then multiply that number by six. This gives y ou the number of beats per minute.
How f ast should your heart beat during aerobic exercise? Fast enough to reach and stay in its
“target zone,” a range of beats per
minute that is largely determined by your age and physical condition. To determine your target zone, consult the chart we hav e
prov ided.
