It is if you are talking about a resting heart rate. If your resting heart rate is higher than 80 beets per minute, your heart is working harder than it should be. This can wear the heart out and cause problems. I recommend consulting your physician if this is the case.

If it is an exercising heart rate then read the following information to determine if this is an appropriate heart rate.

Cardiorespiratory Endurance (CRE) is improved by training the heart and lungs to more effectively and efficiently supply oxygenated blood to vital organs and skeletal muscles. Aerobic exercise improves CRE and should be performed between 60-85% of your maximum heart rate (HR). Follow the directions below to calculate your "Target Heart Rate" for aerobic exercise. You can also use this formula to estimate target heart rates for others.

1. Subtract your age from 220 to estimate you maximum heart rate (HR).

2. Multiply your maximum HR by .6 to find 60% (low end of your training zone).

3. Multiply your maximum HR by .85 to find 85% (high end of your training zone).

Example: the target heart rate for a 35 year old would be calculated as follows:

1. 220 - 35 = 185 beats per minute (BPM). This is the estimated maximum HR.

2. 185 X .6 = 110 BPM. This is 60% of the estimated maximum HR.

3. 185 X .85 = 160 BPM. This is 85% of the estimated maximum HR.

4. The target heart rate for a 35 year old during aerobic activity is 110-160 BPM.

Now, calculate your target heart rate. Type your calculations in the spaces provided below using the formula presented in this assignment. Submit this assignment before beginning any physical activity. Check your heart rate regularly during physical activity to ensure that you are staying within your target heart rate for aerobic exercise.

Target Heart Rate Calculation

1. 220 - __ (age) = ____ (max HR)

2. ___ (max HR) X .6 = ____ BPM

3. ___ (max HR) X .85 = _____ BPM

4. Target Heart Rate (aerobic training zone) = ___________ BPM

Checking Heart Rate

►Find your pulse in your radial artery (near wrist) or carotid artery (neck, below jaw).

►Use your index finger and middle finger to feel your pulse.

►Take your pulse (heart rate) for 6 seconds.

►Begin by counting the first heart beat as "zero."
