Finding Your Target Heart Rate

At Rest Heart Rate 73 BPM

Improve fitness/lose weight (60%–80% MHR)

Max HR = 220-37 = 183 BRM

Improve fitness/lose weight (60%–80% MHR)
183*60% = 110 BPM
183*80% =146 BPM
Target Heart Rate (THR) = 128 BPM
I use the calculations for losing weight to find the heart rate range, since that is
one of the goals I am trying to work on. For my work out I used a Beachbody
workout video that is low impact. Since I am new to exercising and heavy, it is
important that I take it easy, so I do not get hurt. Low impact exercises are ideal
for me since it hurts me to put too much pressure on my knees. For now, I am
staying away from exercises that need me to get on the floor and up a lot. My
favorite low impact with high intensity workout is dance workouts. I used my
apple watch to monitor my heart rate during the exercise. I can tell how out of
shape I am because it did not take much to reach the low range of the heart rate.
I was still doing the warmup when I reached the THR of 128 BPM. Pushing myself
to get to the high range of 146 BPM was exceedingly difficult for me. was very
uncomfortable and out of breath. I look forward to seeing the difference on how I
feel as I redo this activity later in the semester.
