I need to know more about heart rate.

This afternoon I went to Curves and worked out, and the first time around my heart rate was 113.  That was 70%.  The second time going around, my heart rate was 73, which was 20% lower.  I would like to know what the reason for this could have been.  I do know as well that I slowed way down, and that puzzles me as well. Could it have had anything to do with the weather, which was rainy and stormy today?

 

After I had worked out, I went over to my new friend's house, and we talked about a lot of things.  She is very fearful of her health problems, and her health problems are very bad.  When I got home to cook my supper, she called me and said that the person who was setting up her doctor's treatments wants to call me tomorrow.  I will discuss this with her at that time.

Talk to y'all later.

Was that a minute times heart rate?

you want your heart rate higher when you are exercising especially if you are attempting to lose weight. As long as it isnt too high you are burning fat, building muscle, and doing your body good. You might consider asking your doctor what you should mark as your target heart rate so you dont push it too hard. My is around 120 so I manage to keep it around that. (Sometimes a bit higher and sometimes a bit lower.

Oh and weather has nothing to do with Heart rate unless you get anxiety attacks during weather changes. Glad to see you are keeping at it. Great Job!

If you slowed way down that will slow your heart rate.
DesertDarlene L. Feb 17, 2009, 2:34pm EST
Did you take your heart rate after the same amount of time each time around? For example, if you took your heart rate right after you stopped exercising the first time, did you do the same thing the second time around? I know with me, my heart rate immediately returns to normal after I stop exercising, or at least within a few seconds.

Other than that, I think it would be good to ask a doctor. This may be something to be concerned about, but it might not be.

Don't know for sure, but just got home from hospital (late Sunday) and when my heart rate skyrocketed, they were really getting upset, and I wasn't there for my heart.
They said I had just had a very slight heart attack. Ah well, so take care, I got a lot of horrible medicine to take-ick.

I was in a high rated hospital in Baltimore.
Bryan B. Feb 18, 2009, 6:43am EST
Karen the target heart rate for some one 40 years old is 117 to 120 when exercising. However your doctor is the best person to tell you where your target heartrate should be when doing light to heavy exercise.
Anna D. Feb 18, 2009, 4:46pm EST
At curves your heart rate is by your age. They like you to stay between 70% and 80%. They say that is when you lose fat. If you went down is because you slowed down to much in the second round. Remember that the machines are the one that will help you achieve lean muscles and a great figure no the pads. The pads are for you to rest so you can do the next machine hard. Good luck.

Claudia,
I don't know, honestly and the best person to ask is your Doctor, like many have said here. Congrats on what others have been congratulating you for, though I've no idea what it is, knowing you, it's a good thing!
Hugs,
Marilyn

All sorts of good info from the American Heart Association is available on the Internet, too.
Renita P. Mar 1, 2009, 9:25pm EST
If you had slowed way down on the 2nd time around, that is probably why your heart rate went back down. I love Curves!
