Is there a certain amount of time you should stay in zone for best results? I am usually in zone 50-57 minutes.

    I have found the information on this website to be very helpful. Never mind the physics unless your into it. Personally I'm working on an arc trainer with 12 min of low intensity (120 heart rate) as a warm up and 48 minutes of med to high (150-176 heart rate). i usually burn about 900-1000 cal per hour.

    Thanks for info....I never seem to get my heart rate past 142 max, I never burn more than 350 calories.. I am older and must be more out of shape although I have came along way since I started this, my heart would jump into the 160's and had trouble keeping it down.
