PE-111/HomeworkAssignment6

Use your target heart rate zone for a 10-second count that you calculated in EXER 185 Assignment #6. Find your heart rate during two cardiovascular exercise sessions this week and record your heart rate for a 10-second count. Were you exercising at an appropriate exercise level? Use Lecture Notes—Chapters 6/7 and Handout #2 under Course Documents to help you with this activity.

I took a quick jog around the block this weekend (maybe a half mile) for the first exercise. I think this is one of the reasons I have never liked cardio. I find it very hard to stay in my range. Very quickly I hit the 190s for heart rate, which is out of the top end of my range of 141 - 178. I'm guessing that's one of the reasons I get the stitch in my side and have to stop. For some reason I can't seem to find the level that keeps me around 160 - 170. I've been told I would really benefit from a heart monitor for cardio.
