BL #12

Hey Losers,


We're winding down, hope your weight is doing the same! Be sure to weigh in Monday morning and record your results on the chart in the workout room.


Challenge #12: Compute your target heart rate for optimal fat burning and use this for your next cardio workout. Sounds complicated you say. Pish Posh, it's as easy as pie.....and you would know, you've eaten a lot of it to get to this point.


So, do figure your THR for fat burning, take 220 minus your age (Walsh be honest we know you're not 29) and multiply that factor by .55 and .65. This will give you a range of 55-65 perecent of your max heart rate (MHR). This has been proven to be the ideal range for FAT BURNING. If you can maintain this range for AT LEAST 20 minutes 3-5 times a week the flabalanches should begin to disappear. Oh yeah, one other small factor, you must begin to eat HEALTHIER FOODS.


But Kristen you say, "How will I know what my heart is for the duration of the 20 minutes?" Well my fellow fitness followers, there are three heart rate monitors in the workout room. Wear them with the watch and you shall be able to know your ticker rate at all times. 


Good luck,


Kristen
