Regulating heart rates through a regimen of exercises should be one of the many toolkits in the toolbox for adults. It is important to ramp and revv up the heart rates with 10 to 15 minutes of moderately brisk workout (example--just rushing three floors up using stairs). However, the more important thing is to bring down the heart rates to the pre-workout levels quickly, and that is the key to achieve and accomplish one of the most important goals of sustaining a healthy heart. There is no magic bullet here. It is an iterative process. One may start with only 15 minutes of moderately brisk workout three days a week and recording the number of minutes it takes to bring down the heart rates to pre-workout level each time. One may adopt an analytical approach by creating a table in the following format:
Date
Number of Minutes Elapsed between the peak of heart rates and bringing it down to the pre-workout level
In Excel, One may create a two-dimensional graph over time with timeline as X-AXIS and Number of Minutes Elapsed as Y-AXIS. A falling curve over time indicates REAL PROGRESS.
