To keep an eye on your heart rate when you do cardio workouts, here are some easy tips I’ve found really helpful:
Use a Heart Rate Monitor: Get a good heart rate monitor or smartwatch. They are very accurate and help you stay in the right heart rate zone.
Manual Check: If you like a simple way, you can check your pulse. Just place your fingers on your wrist or neck for 15 seconds. Then, multiply that number by 4 to get your heartbeats per minute (BPM).
Know Your Zones: Try to work out at 50-85% of your maximum heart rate. To find your maximum, do this: 220 minus your age. Staying in this zone can help burn fat and build your endurance.
Tracking your heart rate like this makes your workouts not only more effective but also more fun!
