questions about cardio training (frequences, intensity, etc...)
Hi everyone,
I just bought a device to measure my heart rate monitor, and I find it so much fun to be able to see precisely how effective my activity is. Anyway, I have some questions for the cardiotraining specialists out the - for those who took the time (and spent the money) to check their *real* maximal heart rate, did you find a big difference between the results and the theoric "220-age" number ? - The instruction manual of my monitor says that in orderto use fat, you need to be between 60 and 70 bpm. They say it is a light to moderate effort. Is there any real proportion between heart rate beating and calorie burned ? I guess so but it's not so obvious to me. Thanks for your answers and have a nice evening.

It says 60 and 70 *PERCENT* of your max heartrate, not bpm :-) HUGE diff :P Peace, Pen -- Pawbreakers - The Candy for Cats! http://www.pawbreakers.com |

Actually, I know that the best rate to lose fat is 113 to 132 bpm for me. Thanks anyway for pointing this mistyping :-) Huey |

you burn a higher PERCENTAGE of fat to glucose at that level, but at higher intensities you burn more overall calories. That's right. I read a good post from Lyle MacDonald once that addressed this subject. Maybe Huey could find it by doing a Google search. At any rate, he pretty much shot out of the water the concept of exercising at certain rates in order to "burn more fat". True that you burn different proportions of fat to glucose depending on various factors including exercise intensity and duration, but the bottom line is to use up energy (calories) via any permutation of exercise in order to hopefully create or increase a negative calorie balance. That's what actually causes fat loss over a period of days, weeks etc. In other words, burn more calories and you'll lose more fat, assuming food intake stays the same. Besides which, if you're doing a ketogenic low-carb diet, you don't have all that much stored glucose anyhow and will be burning mostly fat regardless of intensity. HG |
