The relevance of measuring heart rate during workout




If you are all set to join a fitness studio, it is important for you to know the relevance of monitoring the intensity of your workout sessions. The article will help you understand whether or not your workout is effective. No matter you are trying to lose weight or looking to gain endurance, it is relevant to keep track of intensity for the best results. 

Let’s have a look at a few of its aspects:

Heart rate 

While working out, your heart rate grows to meet the greater blood flow and demands from muscles. In turn, they are supplied with oxygen and nutrients to perform better. The harder you exercise, the more the blood flow and oxygen increases, thereby, escalating the heart rate.
Therefore, heart rate is a perfect indicator to measure how hard a person is working out. Let’s have a look at the percentage of the maximum heart rate you must consider:

·         Light- less than 65%
·         Moderate- 65% to 76%
·         High-75% to 95%
·         Maximum- 95% tom100%

Use the heart rate monitor to measure heart rate. They are quite affordable and you can buy them from sports stores. Mostly, a band is available that fits around your chest and keep tracking the rate on a watch connected to receive signals. These days, most smartphones have the apps that connect with the band. 

How to use measure heart rate while exercising?

·         When you are ready to exercise, set a particular percentage of maximum heart rate. Make sure you have a professional trainer nearby if you have the target to reach maximum MHR as it can be dangerous for those who have not been working out regularly. 

·         Every cardio machine works the same. However, the results may vary. Also, MHR varies day to day. 

·         Another method is to take 220 minus your age. For example, if your age is 20 years, your MHR is 200.

·         If you do not have a monitor with you, find the pulse using two fingers on your wrist. Begin at the top of the minute when the second hand is on the 12, count beat per minute. 

These are methods that can help you know how to get maximum out of your exercise regime. However, then also do not overstress yourself and move towards your target slowly and gradually.
