Describe another technique you can use besides taking your pulse to determine your exercise intensity


Another technique sometimes used to determine your exercise intensity is simply to talk during exercise and then take your pulse immediately after that. Learning to associate the amount of difficulty when talking with the actual exercise heart rate will allow you to develop a sense of how hard you are working. Generally, if you can talk easily, you are not working hard enough. If you can talk but are slightly breathless, you should be close to the target range. If you cannot talk at all, you are working too hard.
