Exercising Heart Rate

Exercising heart rate refers to the number of times your heart beats per minute during physical activity. It increases as you exercise harder, supplying more oxygen-rich blood to your muscles. Knowing your target heart rate helps ensure you're working out effectively without overexerting yourself. Typically, this range is about 50-85% of your maximum heart rate, which can be estimated by subtracting your age from 220. Monitoring your heart rate during exercise allows you to adjust intensity for optimal health benefits and safety.
