What's a safe way to work out for 20 year olds with a high (120) heart rate? what should my heart rate be during workouts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Resting tachycardia: I would not advise you to start working out until the reason for your elevated resting heart rate is determined. You are young, and might well tolerate exercise, but a resting pulse of 120 is not normal and the cause needs to be figured out. See your doctor.
