Burning more calories become easier with a better knowledge of the connection between the heart rate and the metabolism.
Your heart rate can be measured by using two fingers on your pulse (either at the neck, or on the wrist). Use a watch or stopwatch and count the number of beats over 15 seconds - then multiply by 4. This will give you your heart rate BPM.
Some exercise machines will calculate heart rate (although this can sometime be inaccurate). The most accurate way of measuring heart rate is to use a Heart Rate Monitor (uses a chest strap or wrist strap).
