HOW TO MONITOR YOUR HEART RATE DURING EXERCISE
Now that you know where your training zone is, you'll I have to monitor yourself to be sure you're
in it. Here's a simple rule, if you can't hold a conversation without gasping for breath you're
probably above your training zone.
To know precisely where you're working - making sure you're getting all the benefits -
We recommend you check your heart rate periodically throughout your workout.
You can use the electronic pulse monitor which will count and display your heart rate for you.
CONTROL YOUR PULSE RATE TO KEEP WITHIN ZONE
How hard you exercise affects your pulse rate, it is determined by two thing:
1. Rate: How fast you exercise.
e.g. Speed you cycle, run or step.
2
. Load: The resistance against which you exercise.
e.g. Tension you apply on cycle, step or run up hill.
THE PULSE RATE RULES
If your pulse rate is too low exercise faster or increase load.
If your pulse rate is too high exercise slower or decrease load.
If your pulse rate goes up towards the end of your exercise, you are trying to exercise for too long,
shorten the time.
If your pulse rate does not quickly return to normal after exercise (5-10 minutes) you are not giving
your body chance to recover, reduce how often you exercise.
REMEMBER -
GENERAL FITNESS IS BEST IMPROVED BY INCREASING HOW LONG
YOU EXERCISE RATHER THAN BY HOW HARD.
