What am I supposed to be shooting for as far as my heart rate goes in cardio? I understand that the machines aren't going to be 100% accurate, but what's a good ballpark?

    If your doing straight cardio you want to shoot for between 80-90%, 85% would be optimum. I only do straight cardio 1x a week and strive to be at that HRM for at least 20 mins of my work out. On my other cardio day I do Interval trainging.
