Measure your fitness
Get pulse rate up
–Max heart rate = 220 beats per minute minus age in years
–Target goal = 60-70% of maximum
Target rate example
For generally healthy 50-year-old
Maximum = 220 minus 50 = 170 beats per minute
Target rate = 60-70% of maximum
170 x .6 = 102
170 x .7 = 119
Target rate for exercise = 102-119
How to tell if you’re fit
1. Measure -- heart rate–during exercise
–after resting 2 min.
• rate should drop 15-25 bpm
• If <12 bpm, you’re not fit
Tip: count for 6 sec. & multiply by 10
How to tell if you’re fit
