Target Heart Rate Range & Weight Workout

Here is a link where you can determine your approximate target heart rate range. I'm sure you're like me and want your workouts to have a maximum benefit for you. We don't have time to waste in ineffective methods! I think it's correct to say that the better shape you're in, the lower your heart rate will be and the more you'll have to work to get it up to your target heart rate range. For me, I'm huffing and puffing with minimal activity, so I am concentrating on breathing and keeping my heart rate down.

I also just wanted to point out the link to the Abs Diet site that I posted several days ago. If you have weights and want to start incorporating them into your weekly workouts, check out this site for some ideas of good repetitions to do. Remember not to lift weights every day; only do it every other day so that your muscles will have time to rebuild after you've broken them down. :)

I'm not an expert in these areas! These are just some things I've learned lately. If you have additional information that adds to this, or if I'm inaccurate in any way, let us know. If you have some good tips or websites to point us to, post it! :)
