heart rate question
| Thu, 06-04-2009 - 11:19pm |
Hello,
I was wondering where I can find a good heart rate calculator. My treadmill had a heart rate monitor and I would like to know around what numbers I should be aiming for?? I read somewhere that to get the most out of your exercise is to be in a certain heart rate.
Thanks,
Sneha


Hi Sneha,
Do you mean one online or for RL (real life) ?
If you mean for RL .. I would start with your local pharmacy.
They might even have them there.
HTH :)
Hi Sneha, good to see you!
Here are a couple of links I found that may help:

Also, it is good to talk to your doctor too to see what they think your heart rate should be.

I do it the old fashioned way - I just use my forefingers on the side of my neck for 10 seconds then multipy by 6.
Hello,
Thanks all. Will try it the old fashioned way and see what happens...
