Sweaty Saturday


Sweating isn't the most attractive thing, but it shows that your body is working hard.  The average person doesn't sweat from exercise till his or her heart rate hits 80% of the age-adjusted maximum.  Your maximum heart rate can be calculated by subtracting your age from 226 (for woman) or 220 (for men).  Although the most common method to determine maximum heart rate, it can often be off by as many as 10-12 beats per minute.

During a workout, aim to be in your target heart rate zone (typically 50-70 percent of your maximum heart rate) for 30 to 60 minutes, five days a week, to build aerobic fitness.  


So what will you be doing to break a sweat today? A brisk walk?  An in-home workout?  A visit to the gym?  I'll be getting in my PiYo workout, maybe with a side of 21-Day Fix's 10 Minute Abs!  Sweat it out!
