Weight Loss, Bodybuilding and Exercise Tips - Keeping your body-fat low part 2 of 10
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 youve 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.
