How do you know if the exercise you're doing is moderate, intense or something less? Follow these heart rate measurements from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to know.
FOR moderate-intensity physical activity, a person's target heart rate should be 50 to 70 percent of his or her maximum heart rate. For vigorous-intensity physical activity, a person's target heart rate should be 70 to 85 percent of maximum heart rate. The steps for estimating a person's maximum age-related heart rate are outlined on the CDC website at http://www.cdc.gov/physicalactivity/everyone/measuring/heartrate.html
