JacobKYc25k Posted March 22, 2022 Report Share Posted March 22, 2022 I haven’t exercised in a few years. Just got back into the gym daily and new to running. Only about 2 weeks in the C25K, my heart rate is at 165 while jogging. I’m 29 years old. Will this over time lower itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Riddle Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Slowing down or taking walking breaks between intervals might help you catch your breath, allowing your body to supply oxygen-rich blood more efficiently to your heart, organs, and muscles. As you drop the intensity, aim for the lower range of your goal heart rate, which is around 50 to 70% of your maximal heart rate. You may also use the "speaking test" to see whether you've reduced your intensity to a safe level if you can speak without trouble. Deep breathing, often known as "belly breathing" or "diaphragmatic breathing," has been demonstrated to lower blood pressure and decrease the pulse. Stop jogging, find a comfortable spot to sit, and try inhaling deeply through your nose until your belly expands, then exhaling through your nose or mouth if your heart rate is too high. Rep until your pulse rate has slowed to a comfortable level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
