Over 65 - consult your physician
 
Take your pulse while exercising for 10 seconds and multilply it by 6.

If your pulse is below the low number, keep up the pace. If your pulse is between the low number and mid-range, you're burning fat. This is the range most exercisers should be in to safely and effectively exercise. If your pulse is between the mid-range to the highest number within your range, you're burning fat but most improving your cardiovascular system. Definitely not suggested for beginners.
