A member asked:

How much should your pulse rate be while walking on the treadmill if your age is 50years and you are a women?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Exercise: Depends on what your goal is, if you are training for conditioning on the treadmill, a heart rate of 120-130 is likely plenty, if we are performing a stress test to evaluate your status, we would take you higher.
