More on Heartrate

[skl]

Cathe,

Read your post on how to figure your heartrate. Now I understand that part. But how do I know how many beats per minute that is? I mean, if I stop and take my pulse how long should I take it? 10 seconds? and how many beats should be in that 10 seconds? This has always frustrated me.

My Max heartrate is 191, so my low end is 115 and my high end is 171. But now what? How does this equate to beats per minute?

Thank you sooooooooooo much for help!!!! Sharon

PS I'm so happy for you and all the new joy you have in your life. I truly think you are a wonderful person.

heart rate

The target heartrate is beats per minute. From your post, your target range is 115 to 171 beats per minute. If your checking it in 10 seconds, multiply your 10 second rate by 6 to convert it to a 60 second heart rate.
