As for how to measure your heart rate, it's best to use a wearable heart-
rate monitor. If you don't have one available, Dr. Goldberg said you can
also go off your perceived exertion on a scale from one to 10. "When
you exercise at your target zone, you should feel like your heart rate is
faster and your breathing has increased," she said. A one out of 10 is
resting, while 10 out of 10 feels like you need to be picked up off the
floor. Using this scale, you should be at a six, seven, or eight out of 10
when you are in the target zone.
