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 either side of your 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 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.

Aerobic exercise:

Is any sustained activity that sends oxygen to your muscles via your heart and lungs. It will improve the fitness of your lungs
and heart: your body’s most important muscle. Aerobic fitness is promoted by any activity that uses your large muscle
groups - arms, legs or buttocks, for example. Your heart beats quickly and you breathe deeply. An aerobic exercise should
be part of your entire exercise routine.
