EXERCISE INTENSITY

to exercise within a recommended intensity. The three ways to monitor
exercise intensity are Target Heart Rate, Perceived Exertion, and the Talk
Test.

TARGET HEART RATE

Target Heart Rate is a percentage of your maximum heart rate. Target Rate
will vary for each individual, depending on age, current level of
conditioning, and personal fitness goals. Exercise heart rate should range

adults. A guideline for Target Heart Rate follows:
