How do I decrease my heart rate ?

you should try aerobic exercise...\nAerobic Exercise\nAerobic exercise provides cardiovascular conditioning. It strengthens the heart and lungs, and improves the body's ability to use oxygen. Over time, aerobic exercise can help decrease your heart rate and blood pressure, and improve your breathing (since your heart won't have to work as hard during exercise).\n\n\nExamples are:-\nJogging \nRowing \nSkating \nCycling (stationary or outdoor cycling) \nSwimming \nWalking \nCross-country skiing \nAerobic dancing

it is better for your heart to beat slower, but not too slow. A healthy person who is in shape has resting a heart rate around 60 beats per minute.

I recommend you try yoga. It calms the mind and helps relax your whole body. Its not like some other exercise where you workout alot and it makes your heart rate goes fast. I'm not the kind that likes going to the gym or jogging so i took up yoga lessons and have been doing it for a year now. I feel healthier and friends said i look younger and everytime i finish a lesson i just feel like its taken a big load of stress off me. Good luck!

Eat less exercise more.

I'm in the same situation, so I jog/run/hike.  And do pushups.  Anything that gets your heart rate up for 15-20 a day.  And diet is really important at our point in the weight-loss cycle.  We can't just do diet OR exercise, we have to do both.

Depends on the age and health of the person!\nResting heart beat for adults is around 60 bpm, which will probably decrease as they get older.

Cardio is the best way to reduce fat in your body.\n\nrunning, jogging, walking, swimming, biking, anything that you can do for a sustained period of time (30-45 minutes) that gets your heart rate up. \n\ngood luck1!!!

When you are doing each, stop and take your heart rate (radial pulse in the wrist is probably easiest) for 15 seconds.  Multiply that by 4 and that's your heart rate.\n\nYou can then compare the two.

Hello,\n\nJogging is an aerobic exercise and of course it would be considered "cardio."  Basically, Cardiovascular exercises are those where you are using oxygen and burning glycogen and would include exercise on a treadmill, or elliptical, or jogging around a track, or using a stationary bike, etc.    You can definately burn bodyfat while doing cardiovascular exercises, but you want to make sure that you also are doing your cardio within a moderate intensity range.\n\nTo simplify, if you are a healthy individual (no medical problems that would prevent you from doing certain cardiovascular exercises - if in doubt, consult a physician before beginning a program) you can do your cardio anywhere from 20 - 60 minutes per session up to 5 times per week if necessary.  If you are just beginning, or you are very overweight, it would be good for you to start out even by walking 3 days per week to build up your cardiovascular endurance slowly.  If you have been doing some type of cardio for a while, maybe try to stick to a 3-4 day per week routine, and go at least 20 minutes per session, keeping your heart rate within a moderate range which will help you burn body fat.\n\nTo figure out what your range is, you would determine this by using a small formula to determine your heart rate ranges, from minimum to maximum.  The formula looks like this:\n\n220 - Age  x .6   and x .8\n\nSay you are 30 years old.  220 - 30 = 190    190 x .6 = 114   and 190 x .8 = 152\n\nTherefore, as a 30 year old individual, your heart range for doing cardio would be 114 - 152.   (These numbers represent your target heart ranges at 60% of your maximum and 80% of your maximum.)  Then, once you have determined this, you can take your pulse as you are doing your cardio (either at the wrist or just below the ear at the neck) and count how many beats you feel in 10 seconds and then take that times 6 to get an average beats per minute.  Since you are probably just beginning and want to burn some bodyfat, it would be good for you to stay near the lower range, around 60 - 65% keeping your heart beat around maybe 120 or so during your cardio session.\n\nThere are more accurate ways to do this, but I wanted to try to keep it simple for you and make you aware of how you know where to be when you do cardio.  A much simplier way to tell if you are training at a good pace, is called the "talk test", and all that means is that if while doing cardio you are breathing moderately and still have enough oxygen to hold a conversation with someone while you're doing it, then you should be ok.\n\nI hope this helps you a bit and wasn't too confusing.  Doing a good cardio program is not hard, it just takes a little bit of research to make sure you are doing it properly to fit your goals.  Some people are endurance athletes and want to train at higher heart ranges to do marathons, etc.  It all depends on what you want to accomplish.\n\nGood luck to you, keep up the weight training and perhaps consult a trainer if one is available where you work out.  These people should be able to help you determine how you should train and explain why you are doing what you're doing.  Enjoy.\n\n-nikemand

Excercise that raises your heart rate. Try Yoga Booty Ballet. It's got it all! ;)

My neighbor is doing the same thing. He is using rap music and rock to show how it speeds up the heart rate and slow music to show how it slows down the heart rate. You need to play the music with different people and get their heart rates and variables with each type of music. I would try it out with 10 people and use those as your variables. I would also try looking up information on the internet from people who have also done this study before. Take their pulse before they listen to the music and after and record it. Make a chart of each person and record the findings on the chart.

You didn't specify if you're overweight; in what type of health currently; any other medical conditions; etc.\nAlways check with your Health Care Provider before starting anything drastic like dieting or exercising.\nStart slow, but consistant. As long as you keep your heart rate up steadily for 1/2 hour, that's good. As you become accustomed to this, gradually increase the exercise.\nAlso, decrease sugar consumption; increase water intake & fiber intake, too; add more fresh fruits & veggies; switch to white meats (chicken, fish, turkey) while avoiding red meats. Start eating more WHOLE grain & avoid refined foods. The more natural state they're in & the less processed, the better.\nGo buy yourself a good pair of sneakers, & a quality mutli-vitamin/mineral supplement. A good one to start with is called "Spirulina" & can be found at your local health food store. Good luck.

The air enters into the same aveoli whether it is a short or long breath. The difference is, that if you take a long breath, more air is taken into the lungs and absorbed, which in turn will lower your heart rate. It basically tells the heart that it doesn't have to work so hard to oxygenate the body by pumping the blood. When you take short breaths, the heart has to pump more and basically work harder to get the oxygen distributed through the body because less air is taken in. That's why usually when you are taking short breaths, you are either active or afraid or anxious. In taking longer breaths you are more calm and relaxed. I hope this helps in some way.

I have seen this make a person's heart rate drop close to a fatal ending at where I work.. Please stop taking it and tell your doctor and demand something else in its place..

Both are depressants (lowering Heart rate and breathing). \n\nEventually you slow your system to a point that it stops.

Cardio!!! Its the best!  Keep that heart rate up!

You burn more calories if you increase the incline because your body has to work harder (assuming you keep it at a reasonably fast speed).\nUsually the way to go is to do 2 mins at 0, 4 mins 2%, 4 mins 4%, 4 mins 6% etc until you're at 10% or higher and then stay at the highest incline for as long as you can without decreasing the speed, then slowly decrease the incline 1 min per 2% to bring the heart rate down.
