Post Rehab Tip #6 - Utilization of Heart Rate Monitors

Use heart rate monitors with ALL clients. Even clients with musculoskeletal disorders should use heart rate monitors. Many clients do not exercise at the appropriate intensity levels. Working in the target zones ensures the improvement of cardiovascular efficiency and the avoidance of extremely high exercise intensity. Though heart rate monitors may not work for clients on certain medications, primarily beta-blockers, the majority of clients will benefit from their utilization.
