if you go over your target heart rate while exercising, does it matter?

It depends on what percentage of your heart rate you are working at the ideal is to be using your aerobic system which means using oxygen to transport the blood to the muscles used if you are maintaining your heart rate or going over slightly then this is what you will be using if you are going alot over you will start to use your an-aerobic system this is when you are out of breath and going ten shades of red this also means the oxygen isn't getting to your muscles and you are less likely to be burning fat but your making lactic acid which will make your muscles sore the next day this is a negative.

You might be working out above your ideal heart rate. Get a monitor and figure out what your ideal one should be and try to stay around that.

The Valsalva Manoeuvre will slow your heart rate down, or it should. It's a manoeuvre that is like having a bowel movement. Someone will ask you to "bear down, like you're having a bowel movement", then put electrodes on you to monitor your heart rate. They will ask you to "bear down" and then relax, "bear down" and relax a few times to get a good understanding on your ECG. You can try it yourself - "bear down" like I said, continually monitoring your pulse or HB with your fingers over top of your carotid artery, or your wrist. Anywhere you know there is a pulse to be felt. Your heart rate should slow down and then resume it's normal pattern after you stop the "bearing down". Hope I helped...GOOD LUCK!

its normal. when do you take your resting heart rate?If you take it during the day when you aren't doing anything odds are it will still be higher then usual. Take it before you go t obed and whe nyou wake up in the morning

I've found that if you go for a long time (at least 40 minutes) and do a hill or random setting, you'll get a more complete workout. And don't use the stationary handles. Using the moving hand things works your arms as well as your legs and gets your overall heart rate up more.

It depends on if your man or woman and your age and also your physical size. mine is about 88 beats per min.

First, a pedometer has to read the same number of steps to eliminate the possibility of running more steps in a certain distance versus the number of steps by running in place. It depends on your definition of running in place. If you mean standing in one place with the full motions of running, then no. However, if you mean running on a treadmill so that you remain in the same place but have a simulated running experience, then the answer is yes. The reasoning is that when running a distance, other factors are involved. There are friction and greater muscle exertion. These factors lead to burning more calories - getting a greater amount of exercise.

Not unless your on digoxin. The average heart rate is 72 beats per minute. Now not everyone will be 72bpm but at \n37 your heart rate should be a little closer to normal. See a doctor and see what he says.

When you are doing each, stop and take your heart rate (radial pulse in the wrist is probably easiest) for 15 seconds.  Multiply that by 4 and that's your heart rate.\n\nYou can then compare the two.

It depends on the duration of the "high" pulse. I would be concerned if you for example had a pulse rate of 130 or above for several hours.\n\nOn the other hand 130 pulse rate during strenuous exercise for short periods of time would not be a cause for concern unless there were other symptoms involved such as an irregular heartbeat.\n\nYour Doctor is your best source of information.

well this depends on if you want to burn calories or are you doing it for cardio?..doing it for cardio reasons would mean a slightly higher heart rate then for burning calories..also it would  depend on your age and weight..if you go to a gym get on a stair master or a tread mill,it would calculate the currect heat rate for you and even gives you a scale to determine for cardio and calories (fat burn)

Calculating the caloric loss of either exercise would be extremely difficult, since there will be a variation of intensity and also the fact that different muscles will be working.\n\nHowever, it is healthier to run using a treadmill or on a track than running in place. Running in place is basically a complicated way of jumping up and down, which is:-\n\nA)Bad for your back.\nB)Does not exercise all the muscles of your leg.\nC)Can lead to a herniated disc.\n\nThus, it is better to run using a treadmill or a track.

It depends on how intense youre doing it. If youre going at moderate pace you would lose about 500 or so calories in an hour. But when you go intense, you lose more calories alot after the work out. \n\n(All I said was for cardio exercise.)

The recommended amount to ensure a healthy heart and body is to take 30 minutes of moderate exercise 4 to 7 days a week. As long as the exercise raises your heart rate, makes you sweat and doesn't prevent you from being able to conduct a slightly out of breath conversation (if you can't talk, it's too much) it doesn't matter what it is - it could be ballroom dancing, walking, gardening, running, swimming - anything.  Don't forget that resting is also necessary as exercise "breaks" muscle fibres which then "heal" to form stronger, thicker muscles (this is normal).  Resting allows the body to heal itself.

It works if you use it consistently, enough to get sweaty an elevate your heart rate for at least 30 minutes.

yes!\n\nhttp://www.medhelp.org/perl6/cardio/archive/14037.html\n\na number of ailments cause it. However you can get it to 50-60 or so with it being normal if you're an avid runner.

195-200 is exceptionally high.  Especially if you are maintaining that for 10-15 min.  You're 25 years old.  Your maximum heart rate should not exceed 195 (220-25) for any long or extending periods during your training.  I would be curious to know what:\n\n#1: what is your resting heart rate?\n#2: what is your resting and active blood pressure before and after exercise.  \n\nYou may have tachycardia (abnormally rapid beating of the heart) which would explain the exceptionally high heart rate during exercise.  My resting heart rate is 55, and the only time I can maintain a heart rate of 195 for any length of time is during a VO2 max test which is no longer than 2min spurts.  It would be physiologically very difficult for any 25 year old to maintain that heart rate for 10-15 minutes (regardless of fitness) without having predisposed tachycardia.\n\nIt's nothing to be too alarmed about as there are many athletes with tachycardia who can still perform quite well, however I would advise you to get it checked out through your Physician and you may require a stress test to validate initial findings.\n\nYou can calculate your risks of exercise including tachycardia here:\nhttp://preventdisease.com/healthtools/articles/exercise_risk.html
