The

is
a

Pulse
Count
The
pulse
count
(on
your
wrist
or
carotid
artery
in
the
neck,
taken
with
two
index
fingers)
is
done
for
ten
seconds,
taken
a
few
seconds
after
you
stop
exercising.
This
is
for
two
reasons:
(a)
10
seconds
is
long
enough
for
accuracy,
(b)
the
pulse
count
is
to
approximate
your
BPM
rate
at
the
time
you
are
exercising.
Since
heart
rate
slows
as
you
recover,
a
longer
count
isn’t
as
accurate.
The
target
is
not
a
magic
number,
but
a
general
guide.
If
you’re
above
average
fitness,
you
may
work
quite
comfortably
a
little
above
that
suggested
for
your
age
group.
The

who
are
keeping
fit.

about

Don’t
push
yourself
too
hard
to
reach
the
figures
on
this
table.
It
can
be
very
uncomfortable
if
you
overdo
it.
Let
it
happen
naturally
as
you
work
through
your
program.
Remember,
the
target
is
a
guide,
not
a
rule,
a
little
above
or
below
is
just
fine.
Two
final
comments:(1)
don’t
be
concerned
with
day
to
day
variations
in
your
pulse
rate,
being
under
pressure
or
not
enough
sleep
can
affect
it;(2)
your
pulse
rate
is
a
guide,
don’t
become
a
slave
to
it.
ENDURANCE
CIRCUIT
TRAINING
Cardiovascular
endurance,
muscle,
strength,
flexibility
and
coordination
are
all
necessary
for
maximum
fitness.
The
principle
behind
circuit
training
is
to
give
a
person
all
the
essentials
at
one
time
by
going
through
your
exercise
program
moving
as
fast
as
possible
between
each
exercise.
This
increases
the
heart
rate
and
sustains
it,
which
improves
the
fitness
level.
Do
not
introduce
this
circuit
training
effect
until
you
have
reached
an
advanced
program
stage.
