He was also depressed because his dad had some kind of heart disease and was in and out of the hospital. Jorge was often so tired after school that all he wanted to do was flop down in front of the TV. Although he was exhausted, he found it difficult to fall asleep before midnight. However, he would often fall asleep much later in front of the flickering TV. He was on the school track team but had not been making training recently. The quality of his schoolwork was also deteriorating and he was really fed up."

A: As I have calculated, my target heart rate zone is 103 to 175 beats per minute. The purpose of knowing of this, however, is quite simple. Your target heart rate zone is a heart rate range that should be reached during exercise to gain cardiorespiratory health benefits. Therefore, the purpose of knowing your target heart rate zone is to know when you are overly exercising and when you are not exercising enough?
Right!
