It depends upon what "elevated" means as well as your level of conditioning. It is best to check with your physician in advance. As a rule, three minutes after your fitness exercises ends, you should be lower than 50% of your predicted maximum heart rate. Therefore, figure out your predicted maximum heart rate in advance (or just ask your physician) and check your pulse three minutes after the end of your training. If it is too high, your are training too strenuously, so reduce the intensity of your training and build up more slower to a greater degree of fitness.

Getting the Perfect Cardio Workout?
If you are beginning a new exercise routine to promote good heart health, then you already know that a good cardio workout is what you need to do. What you may not realize is that the key to getting the perfect cardio exercise for your specific needs is finding out at what rate you need to keep your heart beating, and for how long.

What exercise helps your heart?
Extended periods of cardio, such as running, jogging, cycling, swimming, and walking, to name a few. The heart is a muscle, and follows the same principals as other muscle groups. The longer and harder you work the muscle, the stronger and healthier it becomes. As long as your pulse is significantly elevated during your exercise, you are working your heart. The best way to check if your workout regimen is working your heart is by taking your resting heart rate every day. If it gradually gets lower, then it's working. The lower your resting heart rate is, the stronger your heart is. An hour of cardio every day is a good place to start.
