Monitoring your heart rate
When starting and / or performing a cardio-respiratory conditioning program, it is necessary
to constantly monitor the heart rate of the training user, aiming to control the effort, which
must not exceed its maximum capacity, and which must always be within the training
control range (Cardio vascular range - see table), to obtain maximum performance and a real
and progressive gain in physical conditioning.
This control range, also called the Training Zone, generally varies with the age of the
practitioner. For proper monitoring, a heart rate table is provided below, with maximum
values, values for fat burning and training, as well as their relationship by age group.
SEEK TO KEEP INSIDE THE VASCULAR CARDIO BAND POINTED ON THE TABLE
ACCORDING TO ITS AGE RANGE, WITHOUT EXCEEDING IT.

REMEMBER: The values indicated in the table,
are the maximum reference to be reached within
each age group.
If you have not been performing for a long time
constant physical activity, start your program
with increasing gradual stimuli, without
exceeding your capacity, to obtain better and
more lasting results, avoiding injuries that may
discourage you.
Respect your limits!
