ASCM currently recommends healthy adults to work within an intensity range of 55-90% of maximum heart rate for developing and maintaining cardiorespiratory fitness. If you do not have a heart rate monitor to check your heart rate, the quickest way to determine if your heart rate is too high or too low is to take a 6 second heart rate check. Simply place your fingers lightly on your neck below your jaw line or towards the outside of your wrist and count your pulse for 6 seconds. Multiply this number by 10. This resulting number will indicate what percentage of your maximum heart rate you are working at. *This is the most common method we use during class.
