Why use a Heart Rate Monitor?

What Should my Heart Rate be During Exercise? Article by; David Ertl (Cycle coach) This is a very common question I hear and how I wish I had a simple, easy answer, but unfortunately there isn't. � It depends on your natural heart rate, the shape you are currently in, and what your fitness goals are.� So let me try to explain and give you some guidelines to ensure that you are exercising at an intensity that is safe but also will improve your fitness. Heart rate is a very individual thing.�� Some people have very low resting heart rates and others have very fast resting and exercising heart rates. There is a formula that is very often used to estimate your exercising heart rate zones.�� Take 220 and subtract your age.� This�estimates your maximum heart rate. Then you should exercise at some percentage of this maximum heart rate depending on your goals.
