Your Introduction to Heart Rate Based Training
People often wonder how much and in which intensities they should train. The simplest means of determining this is to listen to your own body.
Heart rate based training gives clear guidance on
-How to train to reach your individual goals
-Based on your personal heart rate
-Heart rate variability
There are many subjective clues as to how your body is doing during exercise – such as
-Perceived exertion
-Breathing rate
-Physical sensations
None is as reliable as measuring heart rate!
Being an accurate measure for workout intensity, recovery level and long-term progress, heart rate is a window to your own fitness.
Each person reacts to physical strain individually - depending on:
-Size of the heart
-Fitness level
-Daily changes of stress level
The healthier the heart, the better it adapts to different situations and changing circumstances.
With regular training, the heart muscle becomes stronger, so it does not have to contract that often – therefore decreasing heart rate both during exercise and in rest, and increasing heart rate variability, which is a sign of fitness and a healthy heart.
