It is important to increase the heart rate minimum of 30 minutes most days of the week to
1. Make the heart stronger
2. Improve circulation in the body
3. Maintain a healthy weight
When you raise the heart rate you will raise the body temperature which increases blood flow and burns calories (unit of energy).

To find your pulse count for 6 seconds and then add a zero to that number (for example if you counted 6 beats then you would have 60 beats per minute).
Your maximum heart rate is determined by subtracting your age from 220.
