Target Heart Rate Zone is vital for cardiovascular improvement

Since graduating from Appalachian State University in 1990 with a degree in Exercise Science I am often asked why is knowing your heart rate so important.  Your rate is directly proportional to your intensity level.  Low intensity means low heart rate and high intensity means high heart rate.  If your goal is to improve aerobic efficiency or to lose body fat it is VITAL to know what your heart rate is.  Technology has advanced so much that it is extremely easy to monitor your heart rate.  The easiest way is to wear a heart rate monitor like the one pictured.  It tells you exactly what your heart rate is, how long you were in your target zone, how many calories you burned and so much more.  For a meager investment of $50 you will be well prepared to improve your fitness level.

Your Target Heart Rate Zone, which is calculated using the Karvonen Formula tells us what your heart rate needs to be for maximum benefit.  As Exercise Physiologists we can help you determine that in just a few minutes.  We are here to help you-just ask!  If you need help purchasing a monitor we can help you as well.


"May it be said, when the sun sets on your life, you made a difference."

Have a great weekend and get out and MOVE!
