I am very concerned about training with the right puls, I tried to find some info on what heart rate to train at, but so far I just have general info.I would really like to keep my heart healthy, because I stumbled into an article(it's in Russian, unfortunately, so I cannot post it here ... I will translate it some time) about how important it is to train and not go over 180 beats per minute(especially for starters) a lot during work-outs and try to mostly keep it in the range of 120-150, otherwise it is a slow path to a heart attack ...So I was wondering: how do you guys measure your heart rate and what do you try to keep it at most of the time and how often do you train with maximum heart rate?
Thanks a bunch.
P.S the article I refer to is extremely interesting, I will translate it one day ...

I have one of those polar heart rate monitors that was discussed earlier in this thread and I use it for swimming every day. The only thing is that you really do need to make it tight and for the men that don't have a suit over it, it may be quite difficult to keep it from flipping over off of your skin. I have no problem keeping my heart rate up near 90% while I am swimming (especially fly), but I don't get as high when I run--
