It is important to calculate your MHR as it is used when calculating intensity of effort. i.e 65% of MHR for 20 minutes Site owners comment: We find that the 220 - age method of zone calculation are "OK" but generally provide "safe" limits that may not stretch relatively fit exercisers, especially older people, who the 220 - age formula gives very "conservative" HR values.

In order to achieve maximum aerobics benefits from your workout, you need to exercise at a certain level of exertion. This level of exertion is called your "target heart rate zone" (THR zone). It's the number of heart beats per minute while exercising. You need to exercise hard enough that your heart rate is within this zone, but not so hard that your heart rate exceeds the top end of the zone. See similar questions...

The American College of Sports Medicine1 has published the following recommended formula for estimating maximum heart rate: 220 minus a person's age. At all Cardio Tennis facilities is a heart rate zone map which will give all ages of players their maximum heart rate and their recommended training zone in Cardio Tennis. See similar questions...

Use of a heart rate monitor is not necessary for enrollment in Fitness Boot Camp. It is, however, an option that might improve your efficiency by exactly monitoring your effort level, leading to even greater fat loss. If you're interested in learning more, see your options here.

No. In fact, athletes who use a heart rate monitor have seen a lower heart rate, when taking jiaogulan during exercise (at the same workload) than without taking jiaogulan. Research has shown that after taking jiaogulan, cardiac output increased mainly through increase in stroke volume, not through increase in heart rate. This means that the heart contracts more powerfully, and hence works more efficiently. See similar questions...

When you achieve your target heart rate, your body releases adrenaline, causing your fat cells to release fat into the bloodstream. The muscle then burns it as a source of energy, causing the cells to shrink and making you look slimmer. It is also the level required to increase cardiovascular endurance. See similar questions...

Heart rate monitors are helpful, but not essential. They can help you to avoid overtraining and provide confidence as you see your overall fitness level improve, but are optional. More See similar questions...

Once you achieve your target heart rate, your body releases adrenaline, causing your fat cells to release fat into the bloodstream. When the fat passes an exercising muscle, the muscle picks it up and burns it as a source of energy. As the body withdraws fat from the cells, they begin to shrink, eventually making you appear slimmer. Nice bonus, huh! See similar questions...

Unless you have made a TIGER Study staff member aware of special circumstances, you must always endeavor to complete 30 minutes of exercise within your training heart rate zone in order to be compliant with the research protocol. Failure to do so may cause you to be counted absent from the class. If you are having trouble reaching your target heart rate zone, you must increase your intensity. See similar questions...

You can check out a heart rate monitor from the TIGER Study office, Room 105-P Garrison. Heart rate monitors are available for out-of-class check out on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and on Friday afternoons only. See similar questions...

Heart rate monitors must be returned to class within 24 hours if checked out on a Tuesday or Thursday, and on the following Monday if checked out on a Friday afternoon. Failure to return your heart rate monitor within 24 hours will mean you will not get credit for your out-of-class workout. Remember that others may be waiting to check out heart rate monitors, too.
