SET UP YOUR TARGET HEART RATE

We tell ourselves stories to learn. We make choices from when we wake up till we go to bed. Some of them are good some of them are bad.

We have an important choice on the way we live our lives. Don’t we want to live our lives to its fullest?

Training requires the same attention that you are giving to other fields of your life. The quality of the years you are about to live is the question you should ask yourself. Do you just want to have a sedentary life, enjoy the pleasures of life and have to go to the doctor every single month?, or do you want to live a healthy and active live enjoying life to its fullest?

Researchers have well documented through different studies that those individuals engaged in some sort of aerobic activity when training at a medium intensity had the fastest cognitive responses measured by reaction time, the speed that subjects processed information and problem solving. (Jean Blaydes)

This aerobic activity will not only report benefits in a current situation but it will be decisive in how do we age.

Therefore we need to take care of our heart. It is fundamental that we don’t base our training in the highest intensity range. Our body works like a sort of business where in order to make money we need to spend much less than what we make.

So we need to go through the process in different steps: We need to set our target heart rate, which is important because we need to know the difference between training aerobically (when your body uses oxygen) and anaerobic (with no oxygen).

 

So whats your target heart rate? Unless you are an athlete I would recommend that you stay in the ranges of the above diagram. This will make you have a fitness heart.

My best recommendation to really train efficiently get a heart rate monitor, you can get them at:
