Workout Anxiety?

Hello All,

I was wondering if any had a opinion on working out with a high heart rate. As long as I monitor it. I am overweight and am trying to get back into shape and down to a healthy weight.

As mentioned in previous posts, I am on a stimulant medication which is the ultimate trigger for the increase in pulse rate. For example

Currently resting HR is 95-110

Normally it is below 90 when not on the medication. I just don't want to push my limits too much. But like I was saying before, regardless of what it is induced by , my understand is a pulse is pulse and as long as I don't let it get to the upper max level being 190 range then I should be ok?

Just wanted some input

Thanks

Hi Humble,

The best person to ask about this is your doctor. He/ she can help you come up with a safe regimen to begin with.

If you can't consult with your doc...here is a site where you can calculate your target HR for exercise. (Sorry you'll have to copy and paste...I can't make an active link on my phone.)

Best wishes for a safe and effective workout!
