> Before I started on Emsam, I was working out with a personal trainer and loved it---I quit working out because we left on an extended trip-- 5 months in a motor home--- At one point, I went to the fitness room in the RV resort and was working out and my heart rate was getting a little higher than normal. Then I went to an aerobics class, and it went way too high and I had to back off. I was not working as hard as I normally did.

> I would love to get back to exercise, but hesitate to do too much. I am gaining weight, feel sluggish, fat, and lazy.

> What do others do regarding exercise? If I start slowly, will I be able to work up to a good exercise without a dangerous rise in heartrate/BP??

> FWIW---I am a 66 year old female.Reflecting your age, the traditional formula for aerobic exercise yields a heart rate of 100 bpm. What has it been?
