Elie wants to join the basketball team, so he has started running on the weekends to build up his stamina. He monitors his heart rate and finds that he is often reaching 180 bpm, but his target heart rate zone is between 142 and 175 bpm. what should Elie do to improve his workout ?

Ellie should decrease the training intensity.

Her heart rate is above her target heart rate zone, and this is a bad sign.

To ensure a safe and efficient workout, a person should not exceed his THRZ.
