Why is it important to know your maximum heart rate


Asked by admin @ in Health viewed by 297 People


Describe how to determine your maximum heart rate and why heart rate is important to monitor while exercising.

Answered by admin @



Answer and explanation;

You can determine your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220.

It is important to stay within the range of 50% to 85% of your maximum heart rate while exercising in order to benefit most from your workout safely.

Monitoring heart rate is important because working your heart at maximum capacity or too high actually limits the amount of oxygen your body can get. Your heart rate can be monitored by using a heart monitor or monitoring your pulse during exercise.
