- BB> I just thought I'd add a little more to this convo.
- BB> 60% of the maximum working heart rate (basically 220 - your age) seems
- BB> very low. It is low because it is the minimum intensity that you
- BB> should be working at. There are three factors you have to consider -
- BB> duration, frequency and intensity (intensity being measured by your
- BB> pulse rate).
- BB> 60% of max. HR is a minimum intensity, 20 minutes (continuous) is a
- BB> minimum duration, and 3 times per week is a minimum frequency. If you
- BB> are just starting out and plan on improving, you should only increase
- BB> one of the above three at a time. Unless you are in extremely poor
- BB> physical (cardio-vascular) condition you should plan to start with 70%
- BB> of max. HR, 20 - 25 minutes, for 3 days per week.
- BB> thanks and talk to you later :-}
