- I guess I should have been more explicit when I used the term "elevated
- heart rate". I was referring to the generally accepted heart rates
- associated with aerobic training. This is the old formula:
-
- (220 - your age) X 0.65 < aerobic training rate < (220 - your age) X 0.8
-
- I guess if you ever get that stressed out that we could somehow give you
- credit for "doing your aerobics"!
