If you are going on an exercise, you should take care that the exercises that you can do are within your body’s heart rate zone. The heart range zone is the range of minimum to maximum heart rate. If you’re overweight, has a heart condition, or a person who wanted to drop weight fast and in a safe mode, it’s best that the exercises should be limited within the heart rate. Staying within these range is safe and really effective.
But first, how do we know our heart rate? That’s very simple. Subtract 220 from your current age and the result will be your maximum beats per minute. To know your range just multiply the previous result by 65% for the minimum rate and far maximum rate just multiply them by 85%.
For Example, 25-220 =-195 (195 becomes the maximum heart rate). The maximum heart rate when multiplied by 85% is 126.75 (195 multiplied by 85%) and the lowest is 81.25 (195 multiplied by 65%).
You can use this calculation when you exercise. The higher the heart rate, the more calories are being burned. So it’s essential that you really check your heart rate while doing the exercise. It might be a challenge at the start to get them correctly but when time and practice you can easily do it. All you need to do is to place your right index and middle finger to your inner wrist. You should be able to find something beating there. Once you found your heartbeat, count the number of beats within 10 seconds. From there, multiply it by ten to get the heartbeat rate per minute. If you really can’t figure out how to get the correct and reliable heartbeat, there are wristwatches on the market that can monitor your heartbeat rate. It’s as easy as setting the phone correctly to get the correct results.
You might be wondering why do we really need to have a maximum heartbeat rate since the higher the rate, the faster the calories burned. One of the reasons you need to have a ceiling heartbeat rate is it will prevent complications to those who don’t have a healthy heart. Another reason is that when you go beyond the heartbeat rate through exercise, you’re not burning the excessive calories in your body but you’re already burning the carbohydrates in your body. Carbs doesn’t mean weight loss but it is beneficial muscle development.
