It's not common, but any tips for someone on medicine that reduces heart rate? I don't think a HRM will work for me because I physically can't elevate by heart rate over 110-115.

Someone said it earlier, but bottom line is listen to your body. I too do not eat all my exercise calories back, I am full eating 1/2 of them back. Why put the additional calories in because a generic online calculator suggests I do so. The online tools are just not robust enough to tailor to each individual. So -…
