I don't know how many people check their heart rate during their workouts, but I was wondering how much it should be and for how long during my workout? I got my first HRM and wanted to use it the most efficient way possible...What kinds of exercises do you do when you at the gym to burn the most calories? TIA for your answers.

    With my HRM I can set my weight, height, age and activity level. My lower end Heart rate is around 135 and my higher end heart rate is 158. My maximum is 192. I usually try and stay between the high end and low end for the best workouts. My calories burned depends on the workout and how much effort I put into it. When I do 45 minutes of Circuit Training videos I can burn anywhere from 500 to 750 calories. Zumba ( when I reallly feel like shaking it) for about an hour can be around 800 calories. Hope this helps.
