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 your heart rate. The easiest way is to feel the pulse in the carotid artery on the left side of your neck, in the notch between the windpipe and the large neck muscles. When you detect your pulse, use as little pressure as possible while you are counting beats. Too much pressure on your carotid artery will result in abnormally low heart rates. Count the number of beats in ten seconds, and then multiply that number by six. This gives you the number of beats per minute.

How fast 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 have provided.

An aerobic exercise should be part of your entire exercise routine.
