Body Exercise Tips For Weight Loss, Fitness, And Body Toning

What’s more, if one of these signals persists after you have had a chance to rest briefly, don’t wait a day to see what happens. Have someone take you to a doctor pronto.

The body delivers subtler messages, too, which nonetheless provide important information to those who understand them. The simplest to monitor are your heart rate and respiratory rate. Many high-tech gadgets now exist to keep tabs on your heart rate electronically, but you can get by just fine without the cumbersome paraphernalia.

To check your heart rate during exercise, lightly rest your finger on an artery and count the beats for 10 seconds, then multiply by 6. The result you get should be higher than your normal resting pulse rate (taken before exertion), but it should not be off the charts.

A commonly used guideline1’ offers the following formula for determining the “target zone” heart rate for someone who is aerobically fit: (220 — your age) X .7 or .8. For a fit 18-year-old, the math would run this way:

220 — 18 = 202 (maximum heart rate during exercise)

202 X .7 = 141.4 (or about 141 beats per minute; low end of training range)

202 X .8 = 161.6 (or about 162 beats per minute; high end of training range)

For safety’s sake, well-conditioned people should try to keep their level of exertion within or below the defined training range pretty much all the time, and should never exceed their maximum heart rate.

Beginners, on the other hand, can usually improve their fitness at much lower levels than those listed above, so should not attempt to work out at target zone heart rates until they have successfully completed several months of progressively more demanding aerobic activity.

The test for monitoring your respiratory rate, which is aptly called the “talk test,” is even easier to perform than the heart rate test.

Simply stated, you should be able to carry on a brief conversation in relative comfort while you’re working out. In practice, this means that if you can’t reply to a question or talk to the person next to you in your aerobics class without gasping for breath, your body is saying (in a breathless fashion) that you have exceeded the limits of your current conditioning and need to slow down.
