1 Fitness walking

2 Heart rates Resting Heart Rate Target Heart Rate
Basal Metabolic Heart Rate Max Heart Rate

3 Resting heart rate Your heart rate when your body is at rest
Best time to take heart rate is during sleeping or immediately after waking up Generally, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heartfunction and better cardiovascular fitness. For example, a well-trained athlete might have a normal resting heart rate closer to 40 beats a minute

4 Target heart rate The training zone at which you decide to train
Calculation is used by determining MAX HEART RATE

5 Training Zones

6 Max heart rate 220- AGE the upper limit of what your cardiovascular system can handle during physical activity.

7 V02Max VO2 max is a measure of the maximum volume of oxygen that an athlete can use. It is measured in milliliters per kilogram of body weight per minute (ml/kg/min). Scoring: A V02 max score can be calculated using the following equation: Females: V02= (0.388 x age) – (0.077 x weight in lb.) – (3.265 x walk time in minutes) – (0.156 x heart rate). Males: add to the equation above (add this at the end)

8 Bmr (Basal metabolic rate)
the number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day. Women: BMR = ( 4.35 x weight in pounds ) + ( 4.7 x height in inches ) - ( 4.7 x age in years ) Men: BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )

9 bmi Body Mass Index Index of weight in relation to height that used to assess a healthy body weight Healthy Range Calculation BMI= weight (lb) / height (in)/height (in) x 703

10 Homework Determine your: Resting Heart Rate Maximum Heart Rate
Basal Metabolic Heart Rate V02 Max Guiding Questions: How can you improve your resting heart rate? How does basal metabolic heart rate determine your caloric intake? How can you improve your V02Max?
