Fit Day #21

Hello,

Today, I felt like a rock. I didn't really want to do anything. I walked for cardio today which really would not be considered cardio because it was not fast enough to really increase my heart rate. To calculate your Cardiovascular Improvement Heart Rate (estimated), follow this formula:

220-age=Age predicted Heart Rate Max
then multiply that number by 60-90% to get the range that you should stay between when doing cardiovascular exercise. You could keep up with your heart rate by taking a radial pulse or by wearing a heart rate monitor. I hope that this helps because just walking for the heck of it is not the best way to chase you fitness goals (unless your walking fast:-))
