But, you have to push yourself. You can not slack off on this. Just
getting on the treadmill for a nice little stroll only satisfies the mind
and not the body.
My name is Greg Ryan. I am a fitness expert, professional bodybuilder,
personal, trainer to movie stars, former employee of Kathy Smith and over
50, 000 hours of paid personal training sessions under my belt. For the
last twenty years I have been able to continually make progress, stay
consistent and have some fun in my quest to be in better shape. One very
important technique you need to learn is how to monitor your heart
rate. I have been able to keep my body fat low for years because I
am efficient not because I know it all. Here is what I
mean:
Low Body Fat Technique #2: Work your heart smarter not
harder!
One of the most neglected parts of any workout program is not making
the most out of your cardiovascular training time. Cardiovascular training
is when you exercise your heart at a certain level of effort. Something is
better than nothing, but just going through the motions just to say you’ve
done it, is not working smart.
One of the most important and effective things you can do to lower your
body fat is to monitor your heart rate as you exercise. How do you do that
and what is the right rate for you?
You do that by taking your heart rate during your workout. While
performing your cardiovascular workout begin by taking your pulse at the
eight minute mark and then in ten minute increments there
after.
How you determine your heart rate is to complete the heart rate zone
formula:
220-age x 60-85 % - Target heart rate zone.
The simplest way to do this is to determine your heart rate zone top
number and bottom number. Second divide both numbers by six. This will
give you to small numbers to make sure you strive for in a ten second
period. If you are to low, beef it up, if you are too high you will burn
muscle. Stay in the zone and you will be surprised how the body fat will
start coming off.
But, you have to push yourself. You can not slack off on this. Just
getting on the treadmill for a nice little stroll only satisfies the mind
and not the body.
The goal is to maintain your heart rate in the zone for 20 to 40
minutes.
