HEART RATE

As you exercise, your heart beat increases. This is often used as a measure of the required intensity of  

an exercise. You need to exercise hard enough to condition your circulatory system, and increase your 

pulse rate, but not enough to strain your heart.

Your initial level of fitness is important when developing an exercise program for you. When starting, 

you can get a good training effect with a heart rate of 110-120 beats per minute (BPM). If you are 

more fit, you will need a higher threshold of stimulation.

To begin with, you should exercise at a level that elevates your heart rate to about 65 to 70% of your 

maximum. If you find this is too easy, you may want to increase it, but it is better to lean on the 

conservative side.

As a rule of thumb, the maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. As you increase in age, your 

heart, like other muscles, loses some of its efficiency. Some of its natural loss is won back as fitness 

improves. The following table is a guide to those who are “starting fitness.”

PULSE COUNT

The pulse count (on your wrist or carotid artery in the neck, taken with two index fingers) is done 

for ten seconds, taken a few seconds after you stop exercising. This is for two reasons: (a) 10 seconds 

is long enough for accuracy, (b) the pulse count is to approximate your BPM rate at the time you are 

exercising. Since heart rate slows as you recover, a longer count isn’t as accurate.

 

The target is not a magic number, but a general guide. If you’re above average with your fitness, you 

may work comfortably a little above that suggested for your age group. The following table is a guide.

Don’t push yourself too hard to reach the figures on this table. It can be very uncomfortable if you 

over exercise. Let it happen naturally as you work through your program. Remember, the target is a 

guide, not a rule, a little above or below is just fine.

Two final comments: (1) don’t be concerned with day to day variations in your pulse rate, being 

under pressure or not enough sleep can affect it; (2) your pulse rate is a guide, don’t become a slave 

to it.
