What should your pulse be when walking?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the ideal pulse rate for walking will vary depending on your age, fitness level, and health conditions. However, a good rule of thumb is that your pulse rate should be between 100 and 130 beats per minute (bpm) during moderate-intensity walking. If your pulse rate is higher than this, you may need to slow down your pace or take more frequent breaks. If your pulse rate is lower than this, you may be able to increase your pace or walk for a longer period of time.
Here are some additional tips for keeping your pulse rate in a healthy range during walking:
* Start slowly and gradually increase your pace as you become more comfortable.
* Walk on a flat surface and avoid hills if you are not used to walking.
* Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your walk to stay hydrated.
* Wear comfortable shoes and clothing that will not restrict your movement.
* If you have any health conditions, talk to your doctor before starting a walking program.
