Walking is pretty much a gadget-less sport. But one gadget can really help walkers get the most out of their walking workout — a heart rate monitor.
By knowing your heart rate during your walk, you can keep your workout at a fat-burning level, not exhaust yourself on long-distance walks, or pump it up for a threshold workout to build your aerobic capacity.
Wearing a heart rate monitor can help ensure your heart rate doesn’t get higher than your healthcare provider recommends. If you have a fast or irregular heartbeat while exercising, rest and let your heart rate slow down. Check your pulse after 15 minutes. If it is higher than 120-150 beats per minute, stop exercising and call your healthcare provider.
When you encounter the following conditions while taking a walk:
If you feel more short of breath than usual;
If you feel very tired;
If you are sick or have a fever;
If you are making major medicine changes;
If these symptoms are persistent, you may want to check in with your healthcare provider.
