To find out if you are exercising in your target zone (between 60 percent and 80 percent of
your maximum heart rate), use your heart rate monitor to track your heart rate. If your pulse
is below your target zone, increase the intensity of your exercise. If your pulse is above your
target zone, decrease the intensity of your exercise.
