PVC: Heart beat that skips from time to time is in fact normal it's called a premature ventricular contraction, when the verticals prematurly contract.

Arrhythmia: Have a doctor check you out - some of those may be benign, but the stress of exercise may bring out some heart problems that need treatment to avoid sudden problems later.
