Question

cecelia is working out at the gym and using the heart rate monitor feature on the treadmill. her heart rate is at 187 beats per minute, and her target heart rate zone is 138 to 175 beats per minute. what should cecelia do to get the best possible workout? (3 points)

increase the intensity and incline of the treadmill

increase the duration of the treadmill timer

decrease the intensity and incline of the treadmill

decrease the duration of the treadmill timer

Explanation:

Cecelia's heart rate (187 bpm) is above her target zone (138–175 bpm). To lower her heart rate to the target, she should reduce the workout intensity (and incline, as intensity affects heart rate). Increasing intensity would raise her heart rate further. Duration (timer) affects total workout time, not immediate heart rate. So decreasing intensity/incline is the correct action.

Answer:

C. Decrease the intensity and incline of the treadmill
