1. Maximum Heart Rate Highest heart rate an individual can achieve without severe problems through exercise stress

2. Resting Heart Rate *How quickly the heart beats in the absence of exercise or outside stimulation *Assessed heart rate as soon as you wake up from a restful night of sleep to get most accurate results

3. Target Heart Rate Zone (Polar Recommendations) *Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) = 200 *Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ): (MHR) x.90 = 180 bpm (Upper Target Heart Rate Zone) (MHR) x.70 = 140 bpm (Lower Target Heart Rate Zone) BPM = Beats Per Minute

4. Moderate Heart Rate Zone (Polar Recommendations) *Maximum Heart Rate (MHR) = 200 *Target Heart Rate Zone (THRZ): (MHR) x.70 = 140 bpm (Upper Target Heart Rate Zone) (MHR) x.60 = 120 bpm (Lower Target Heart Rate Zone) BPM = Beats Per Minute

5. Carotid Artery Artery located in your neck that circulates blood away from your heart as it pumps.

6. Radial Artery Located in your wrist that circulates blood away from your heart as it pumps.

7. Veins Circulates blood to your heart as it pumps

8. Aerobic Exercise Steady activity in which the heart can supply all the oxygen the muscles need

9. Anaerobic Exercise Short, fast burst of activity in which the heart cannot supply oxygen as fast as muscles use it

10. Warm-Up *Gradually increase your heart rate, breathing, and body temperature to prepare your body for more intense exercise *Helps prevent injury to the body

11. Cool-Down/Recovery *Gradual slowing down of heart and body temperature following an exercise activity. *Prevents blood (which carries oxygen) from pooling to extremities of the body and not circulating to the brain. *This will help keep you from experiencing dizziness or fainting/passing out following an exercise activity.
