How do you figure out your heart rate?

[gidget1978]

I have to buy a HRM but until I can get around to doing it...which you never know...may be today, this is what I've figured out.

I am only aiming for 60-70% of my resting heart rate.
Resting heart rate is 14 beats per 10 sec
So would I do this...14 X .70 = 9
14+ 9= 23 ? And that would make 138 beats per min would be 70% of my resting HR?

I know 220-your age is your max without trying to kill yourself.
Mine is 179.So i guess take that X 60 or 70% would give it to you.

I am so glad you are so happy about being pregenant.You are going to have a great pregenancy and be a great mommy.

Do the listen to your body thing.
Don't push your self like you always do .

I am so happy for you.

Thanks Anne

I just worked the equation out that you gave me and its 135 , which is what I think I figured out. I think I am going to run to wal-mart later to see what they have on the selves.
