Heart rate??

karinapeterson

Can anyone out there give me information on heart rates. I am a 43yr old mum and seem to have a fairly low heart rate most of the time, resting usually about 60-65. When exercising hard I can get it to 175 max, I cant go any harder than that but as soon as I stop it drops within minutes to 90-100 and half an hour later it is back to normal, walking rate about 65-70.

What does it all mean to me? and to my efforts to lose weight?

Here is a good article where heart zone rates are explained in relation to fitness.
Good luck.
