I bought a new exercise machine a while back and was doing it religiously until my kids got sick, I have been back on it everyday for the last 4 days. Don't know how to post my progress, but it makes me feel more accountable if I tell all of you that I did it! Did that make any sense?

Your most welcome Mak1! Hey Jewels , this is the exercise thread so keep on posting. What kind of machine do you have? Some have figured out how to translate minutes to miles on some machines.
I have been a little slow this week on my exercising. I don't do well when I'm stressed which is crazy because exercise helps work out the stress!

Thanks Denecee!!

I will be back tonight to post my miles. I am starting off really slow so I won't get sore.

Question...Does anyone know how to figure their target heart rate?

Lancecrossfire

Thursday, December 04, 2003 - 12:48 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Kady, a good rule of thumb to go by is first to figure your maximum heart rate--subtract your age from 220. To figure out your target heart rate, take (220-age) and multiply that answer by a certain percentage--depending on the type of workout you want. For strictly burning calories (not ar aerobic workout) take 60% of that answer you got. That would be your target heart rate.

If you want an aerobic work out 9which will burn calories too, as well as improve your cardiovascular fitness) multiply by anywhere from 70% to 80%, depending on the intensity of the workout you want.

Example--I'll use my age. 220-48=172. That means I don't want my heart rate to go above 172 for any length of time. If I want to just burn calories, and not worry about a cardio work out (which also means you can do that activity at that level for a much longer time, 60% of 172 172 x 0.6) is 103.

80% of 172 172 x 0.8) is 137. So if I want to improve my cardio fitness, I'd exercise such that my heart rate stayed at about 137.

Kady, as your cardio fitness improves, the best way to monitor that improvement (from just a simple test) is to pay attention to how fast your heart rate slows after you are finished exercising. For someone in bad shape, their elevated level will stay elevated for some time. For someone in really good shape, it will start decreasing almost immediately after stopping, and will do so fairly quickly.

Congrats on getting started Kady--that is always the toughest part to get through. Don't give up on yourself!:)
