What's your target heart rate?
To get the greatest health benefits from your workout, you must elevate
your heartbeat rate to a certain level - your target heart rate. Exercising
at your target heart rate will help to improve cardiovascular health,
reduce body fat and boost endurance.

To learn how to determine your resting heart rate: Feel your pulse when
you're at rest (not during or immediately after exercise) by placing your
first and second fingers on the artery near the thumbside of the inside
of your wrist, or on the neck near the larynx. Enter the number of beats
you count in 10 seconds.
If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure or a history of
breathing problems (e.g., asthma), check with your doctor before beginning
or revising your exercise plan. Note: Medications may alter one's heart rate.
