Rhonda.

I have just started cardio Training at the Health Club, I do the bike, treadmill, and couple other things.

I have a Heart Rate Monitor on at all times. When I start it's about 72-75, after getting going on the machines the highest I have gotten was 120. My Onc told me not to let my Heart Rate get over that rate at this time.
If I see it climbing I slow to a lower pace and keep on working out. I am doing this to strengthn my heart due to being on Herceptin. I have a Personal Trainer who is keeps a close on me.

I also take 300mg of COQ10 daily. I also have Echo's every 3 months and so far I have been good. I hope my next Echo will show improvement since starting my training.
Not sure if that is what you were asking about, Heart Rate and Exercise?
