You to lose weight in a balanced way! Here are some tips you should keep in mind: 1  The idea that exercise depletes vital nutrients in the body is a myth. 2  In fact, just the opposite happens exercise helps the blood to carry oxygen and nutrients to different parts of the body.
Step 2. Start with 220 and subtract your age from it to get an estimate of your maximum heart rate. For example, if you are 25, your maximum heart rate would be 195. Multiply the result by the target heart rate percentage you determined earlier. If you are aiming for 70 percent, you would multiply 195 by 0.7 to get 136.5. If you are aiming for 50 percent, you would multiply 195 by 0.5 to get 97.5. The complete formula is: (220 - Your Age) x Target Heart Rate Percentage = Target Heart Rate.
You'll know that you've found your pulse when you can feel a small beat under your skin. Each beat is caused by the contraction (squeezing) of your heart. If you want to find out what your heart rate is, use a watch with a second hand and count how many beats you feel in 1 minute. When you are resting, you will probably feel between 70 and 100 beats per minute. When you run around a lot, your body needs a lot more oxygen-filled blood. Your heart pumps faster to supply the oxygen-filled blood that your body needs. You may even feel your heart pounding in your chest.
