When you feel all the sweats but your shirt only shows about 2 drops. 🚨let’s talk heart rate (HR) for a quick moment! 🚨 The most common way to know your max HR is 220-age. For example if you’re 30 your max HR is 190, which means your GOAL should be to get as close to that as you can. Your goals should NOT be to get over your max HR, and if it does happen listen to your body. There is also Heart Rate Reserve, HRR, which is the different between your resting HR and your max HR. You would use HRR with what intensity is desired during your workout. So if you are still the 30 year old and your resting HR is around 70bpm, your Reserve would be 120bpm. Then multiple by your desired intensity, let’s say 70% (.70). You would get a HRR of 84bpm. Now stay with me. 84 + 70(resting) = 154bpm is your new GOAL during your workout. You DO NOT need to be at 100% intensity. I hope this was a little helpful! If you read it all the way through, I’m impressed! 😀 #exercisescience #heartratereserve #sweatingforme #intensitylevel #listentoyourbody #painisnotgain (at Federal Way, Washington)
