Knowing your target heart rate is good so that you're exercising enough to get a work out but not too much to strain your heart. The target heart rate is a range. Your maximum heart rate in beats per minute is based on how old you are. (220 minus your age).
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends a target heart rate while exercising of 50% to 85% of your maximum heart rate.
There is a range rather than a single number because it depends on your fitness level (sedentary to active).
Sedentary- 50% to 65% of maximum
Regular exerciser- 60% to 75% of maximum
Active- 70% to 85% of maximum
Check your heart rate while exercising by:
-
placing your fingers lightly but firmly over the inside of your wrist.
-
placing your fingers lightly on your neck, below the angle of your jaw
-
place your palm on your chest over your heart.
Count the number of beats you feel while the seconds go by.
Use the heart rate calculator to determine the range of how uch your heart should beat during exercise.
Range of motion exercises help keep your muscles and joints healthy. They help keep you strong and fit.
