I walked 2 kilometers in 30 minutes, and my average heart rate was 130 bpm; is that a good level, or is it on the high side? At times, my heart rate even reached 160 bpm. Should I be concerned about this?

Walking for 2 kilometers in 30 minutes is a good exercise. An average heart rate of 130bpm during this activity is within the moderate intensity range for most adults. However, reaching a maximum heart rate of 160bpm indicates that you were pushing yourself towards the higher end of your cardiovascular capacity. It is important to listen to your body and not exceed your maximum heart rate too frequently to avoid overexertion. If you are healthy and have no underlying heart conditions, you can continue with this level of exercise. Remember to stay hydrated and consider incorporating some cool down exercises after your walk to help your heart rate return to normal.

Average Heart Rate:
- 130 bpm during walking is slightly elevated for moderate activity.
- Moderate exercise heart rates typically range from 50% to 70% of your maximum heart rate (about 180 bpm for you).
-
Peaks at 160 bpm:
- Spikes to 160 bpm are higher than usual for walking.
- This may indicate your body is working harder due to factors like stress or dehydration.
-
When to be concerned:
- Seek medical advice if you experience chest pain, dizziness, or excessive shortness of breath.

View allI'm really worried about my dad who's 59 and just got told he has a 'Non specific T abnormality' and 'Flat T wave' in his ECG. He's had a 2D echo too, showing a 60 LVEF and no RWMA at rest. Is this something we should be concerned about?
