Warm Up To Sydney CBD Fitness
You may have noticed that health professionals in our everyday reading material recommend that your target heart rate goal should range from 60-80percent of the maximum heart rate you reach when you are exercising. To be able to achieve this goal and experience the benefits of reaching this target heart rate – a trainer Sydney CBD fitness group may suggest your exercise plan include a plan of 3-5 workouts each week, from roughly 20-60minutes depending on the variables, which may or may not include your desired outcome, body shape and existing fitness level.
Although our well known athletes may exceed this range from time to time, everyday people get little benefit from pushing themselves the extra mile. Exceeding the 60-80 percent puts unnecessary stress on your body – the athletes push themselves to build endurance and are not susceptible to potential injury.
Studies show the heart is working too fast and the heart doesn’t replenish oxygen as effectively.
So slow and steady wins the race when it comes to exercise!
However, from the perspective of not reaching the target range often enough, this lack of performance has far less benefits for people who choose to exercise at the lower zones, on a regular basis.
We are seeing more and more heart rate monitors these days. They seem to be a rising trend among exercisers of all walks of life, now that optimum heart rate is becoming the recognized gauge of fitness.
Heart rate monitors are a very useful tool for anyone who is looking at maximizing their results quickly and effectively.
Physical Educators feedback certifies that Heart Rate Monitors are crucial to providing an indication as to whether or not participants are exercising at the right intensity or not. Time is recorded within certain monitors to assess how much exercise time is spent in each heart rate zone.
Heart Rate Zones are broken up into these categories:
*Warm up Zone
Experts calculate this zone at 50%-60% of maximum heart rate
*Mild Exercise Zone
This zone is at 60%-70% of maximum heart rate
*Aerobic Zone
70%-80% of maximum heart rate
*Anaerobic Zone
80%-90% of your maximum heart rate
*MAX HR
90%-100% of the maximum heart rate
Please consult your health care specialist before creating a workout plan that includes exercises to achieve maximum heart rate. Even if you are in fantastic shape, it is recommended this zone is included for very short periods of time, if at all.
