What is a healthy resting hert rate?
What should we strive to push ourselves to when we exercise?

    I can tell you that a good resting heart rate is between 60-80 (I work for the cardiology dept in my hospital) but obviously a little above or below that is ok so don't freak out.


    but as far as exercise heart rate I can't help you on that one.
