• Recommended is to calculate your target heart rate with the Maximal Heart Rate Formula: 220 minus your age multiplied by the percent of intensity based on your goals.

• Prior to effort, check your heart rate with the 10 second count - this is your point of departure rate.

• At the peak of effort, check your pulse again - remember to keep moving to avoid blood pooling in the extremities and dizziness.

• Recheck your pulse after you recover from your effort. Improvements in cardiovascular fitness can generally be measured by a reduced time from peak effort to a return of resting heart rate.

• Check the rating of perceived exertion chart to learn how to correlate your working zones with how hard you feel like your effort is during each phase of your workout.

• The same scale can also be applied to other modes of exercise, particularly effort in strength training.
