To get the maximum results you must know your heart rate, to calculate use this formula!
220-age
Ex:220-34=186
I am 34 and I have to stay close to 186 beats per minute to burn calories!
So, while you are working out try to get to your target!
To manually find out you would check your pulse, count for 15 seconds and multiply by 4. You need a watch with a second hand!
or Buy a heart monitor watch from Walmart for about 10.00-20.00!
