A member asked:
Sometimes while exercising my heart rate is around 180 (and can reach 200 maximum). is this safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Exercise: for a 50y/o person we generally would recommend not getting the rate that high. Generally we would keep the maximum under 170 and the training 150 or less.
