| Appnut at large Board Sponsor  | I'm not that experienced, but the main issue relates to (if you are cardioing for fat loss) staying in lipolysis, where your fat cells are releasing fat into the bloodstream. if you are exerting yourself more than a certain amount, more blood is going to muscle and less to fat. So lipolysis slows down or ends, and potentially your body starts catabolising muscle. I'll look for some of the articles i've read on it with more details, and try and post em To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 0 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

| Registered User  | Hey I feel that the best way is to use the Karvonen formula. The heart rate calculations on the cardio machine dont take your resting heart rate in to account. If your in good shape your resting hr will be lower Some out of shape people can walk and get there hr up to 160 while those of us who are in good shape have to work really hard to get it up, anyways I put a link to help you out.

| Registered User  | I couldn't get the above link to work, but this seems to be helpful. http://exercise.about.com/cs/fitnesstools/l/bl_THR.htm Do not try and fight gravity. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. What truth? There is no gravity. Then you'll see, that it is not gravity that impedes, it is only yourself. |
