Train for the Best Results

Recently I have been looking for a new workout that would get my heart rate close to maximum performance.  You are probably asking why in the world would I do this..and my answer is just pure craziness, LOL.

But on a serious  note: I teach 3-4 high impact fitness classes a week and train on my own a minimum of 5 days. I have been wearing a heart monitor and I've only been reaching an average of 155-160 bpm.

My Max HR is 195, which means I am in the 80% zone, which is pretty good.

I learned that I have been over training my body in order to burn fat. What I've been doing is Endurance training: "Aerobic Zone (Endurance Training) --- 70 - 80% of maximum heart rate: The aerobic zone will improve your cardiovascular and respiratory system AND increase the size and strength of your heart. This is the preferred zone if you are training for an endurance event."

So this means that I can re asses my workouts and focus on FAT burn not Killing my self: "Fitness Zone (Fat Burning) --- 60 - 70% of maximum heart rate: This zone provides the same benefits as the healthy heart zone, but is more intense and burns more total calories."
