Westside at Buttercup Creektarget Heart rate range for cardiovascular exercise:

do You Know Yours?By Sarah Jordan, MS

Are you getting the most you can from your cardiovascular exercise program?Determiningyourtargetheart-raterangemayhelpyousee more results and become more aware of the intensity of exercise that you are completing.

I love to empower my clients by educating them on this personalized range. And even more so, I enjoy seeing their faces light up when they tell me about the results they are seeing because of their success in using it.

A few things to remember about calculating target heart-raterange (THRR):

•Alwayscheckwithyourdoctorbeforestartingorchangingyourexercise program.

•Tobest determine yourfitness level and training zones, seeka fitness assessment from a certified professional personal trainer. Numbers provided here are just estimates.

•These estimates are for healthy individuals. Remember thatconditions like pregnancy, health issues, and some medications can affect your heart rate.

•Therearetimeswhenyourmid-exerciseheartratewillbebelowor above your target heart rate range, and that is okay. But use the THRR as a goal to work within most of the time.

•Agoodestimateofyourmaximumheartrateis220–yourage.

cALcuLAting Your tArget HeArt-rAte rAnge:

Knowing how to take your pulse and find your heart rate during exercise can help you evaluate the effectiveness of your exercise program. Using the Karvonen formula, we can calculate target heart-raterange(THRR).Wedothefollowingtocalculateourlowand high end of our THRR:

220 – age – resting heart rate x low end of training zone + resting heart rate = ______ (low end of THRR)

220 – age – resting heart rate x high end of training zone + resting heart rate = ______ (high end of THRR)

Step 1: Calculate your resting heart rate. The best time to do this is first thing in the morning

beforeyougetoutofbed.Takea60-secondcount,andwriteyourresting heart rate value down.

Step 2: Determine what training zone you will use based on your current level of fitness.

Estimates provided by www.acefitness.org: Low level of fitness: 45-55%;Fairleveloffitness:55-65%;Goodleveloffitness:65-75%;Excellent/eliteleveloffitness:75-85%.(Thesearejustexamplesand can be changed to best fit your current level of fitness. For the most accurate calculation, get a fitness assessment.)

Step3:Calculateyourtargetheart-raterangeusingtheKarvonenformula.

Step4:Learnhowtousethisheart-raterangeregularlyinyourcardiovascular workouts.

Forexample:Ahealthy30-yearoldfemalewithagoodleveloffitnessandarestingheartrateof60beatsperminuteandusingatrainingzoneof60-80%:

220–30–60x.60+60=138beatsperminute220–30–60x.80+60=164beatsperminute

Usingthiscalculation,hertargetheart-raterangeis138–164beats per minute.

Sothequestionis,“NowthatIknowmytargetheart-raterange,how do I actually apply that to my workouts?” Follow these steps for success:

•Calculateyourtargetheart-raterangeandwriteitdownwhereyou can easily find it.

•Findarangethatyoucanremember.Forexample:Forthe30-yearoldfemaleabove,herrangeis138-164beatsperminute.Thatishardtoremembermid-exercise,sosheshoulddothis:

o Determine and remember the range you should find in a 6-secondpulsecount.

•(Ex:13-17beatsin6-secondpulsecount,asthiswouldequal130 – 170 beats in a minute, which aligns with her THRR.)

oShetakesherpulse(mid-exercise)for6seconds,andshouldget13-17beats.

•Practiceandlearntotakeyourpulseproperly. o Taken from http://my.clevelandclinic.org/heart/prevention/

exercise/pulsethr.aspx:Place the tips of your index, second and third fingers on the palm

side of your other wrist below the base of the thumb. Or, place the tips of your index and second fingers on your lower neck on either side of your windpipe.

o Press lightly with your fingers until you feel the pulse beneath your fingers. You may need to move your fingers around slightly up or down until you feel the pulsing. If placing fingers on neck, be sure you don’t press too hard.

o Use a watch with a second hand, or look at a clock with a second hand.

•Countyourpulsefor6seconds.Multiplythisnumberby10(add a “0”) to get your heart rate (pulse) / beats per minute.

•Giveyourselftimetogetcomfortableusingthismethod.Itwillpay off in the long run!

Everyone wants to find ways to make their fitness routines more efficient.Itismyhopethatusingthetargetheart-raterangewillbeone way of doing just that.

a �nished product that will exceedyour expectations.

Pick up the Pile

Canine waste is full of bacteria. When left behind in parks, campgrounds, and yards, it threatens our water supply. When it rains, it runs into rivers, streams, and wells. It only takes one irresponsible petparenttoinfectanentirearea'snaturalsourceofH2O.That'sbecause different types of bacteria like fecal streptococcus, fecal coliforms (E. Coli), campylobacter, and salmonella which is found in pet waste can make humans sick.

Beingpreparedtopickupyourdog'spileeachandeverytimeheor she feels nature call is one way to remedy this growing problem. It'stherightthingtodoforanumberofreasonsasexplainedbyTracy Johnson, Founder of the Pick Up the Pile Campaign. The concerned Austinite was alarmed to see just how many pet parents let this issue go despite city efforts to eliminate public waste. She routinely encounters piles on the sidewalks and recreation areas of the parksthatshevisits.Ratherthankeepquietanylonger,shedecidedto address the problem one pet parent at a time.

Her nationwide campaign went into effect June 1st. Cities around the country took part in educating the public about the dangers ofcaninewaste.Johnsonnotesthatit'sneverbeeneasiertosafelyconceal and discard piles. A number of products have been designed tohelpremedythisproblem.Eventhemostsqueamishpetparentwill have no trouble being responsible once they are introduced to the items Johnson has found online and through pet supply stores.

Johnson believes that education is key to shedding light on this problem. She also thinks the next generation of pet parents will show greater concern for the issue. As a way of introducing young people to the Pick Up the Pile Campaign, she is offering a fun Scavenger Hunt consisting of different Tasks, Trivia, and Finds. Find out how to participate by visiting www.pickupthepile.com.

or trailer designed for temporary dwelling or recreational purposes, andincludestraveltrailers,pick-upcampers,campingtrailers,motorcoach homes, converted trucks, vans, and buses, boats, boat trailers, personal water crafts and personal watercraft trailers.
