Many people have heard that doing cardiovascular exercise can improve heart health.

The term exercise heart rate is something many people are not familiar with and is an important aspect to getting a quality cardiovascular workout.To understand your exercise heart rate, you need to understand some other important terms first.Resting Heart Rate- This term represents your heart rate at rest. This number is usually taken first upon waking up in the morning. For example, you could have a resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute.Maximum Heart Rate- This number is derived from subtracting 220 from your age. For example, a 40 year old would have a maximum heart rate of 180.Heart Rate Reserve- This is the range of your pulse rate between your resting heart rate and your maximum heart rate. In the example above, the heart rate reserve is between 60-180.Exercise Heart Rate- This term is the one we are discussing. Basically your exercise heart rate is the pulse you have during exercise measured as a percentage of your heart rate reserve. For example, if your resting heart rate is 60 and you reach a pulse of 120 during exercise, you are said to be exercising at about 50% of your heart rate reserve.Your exercise heart rate is an important determination of how hard you should exercise.
