Gurkirat S on 09 Jan 12I can tell now, if I am working out hard or not. I can distinguish if I am working out hard is by finding out my heart rate, which allow me to know if I am actually working out my body. And your to find your heart rate it's explained how to do it, which is perfect for me, to know of how really hard have I worked out.

Heart Rate Ideally, cardio exercise should keep your heart rate somewhere between 60% and 80% of max. Anything less and you’re not really working out very hard. Anything more and you’re placing too much strain on your body. What’s My Max Heart Rate? A rough estimate of your max heart rate is 220 minus your age. So for me, being 34, my max heart rate is 186. That means that if I want to keep my workout between 60 and 80%, I should keep it somewhere between 111 and 148.
