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?
A: Increase the intensity and incline of the treadmill
B: Increase the duration of the treadmill timer
C: Decrease the intensity and inline of the treadmill
D: Decrease the duration of the treadmill timer

Answer 1

the answer would be c

Answer 2

C. Decrease the intensity and inline of the treadmill.

Since Cecelia's heart rate, 187 beats per minute, is already above her target heart rate zone 138 to 175 beats per minute, she should decrease the intensity and inline of the treadmill to lower her heart rate.

Increasing intensity and incline will further hasten her heart rate. The duration of the treadmill timer does not impact Cecelia's heart rate.
