Target heart rate

max heart rate = (220 - age)

“The target heart rate method is a simple formula: take 220 and minus your age. Then take that number and multiply it by .75 - .85, which will give you your percentages of 75% – 85% of your Max. HR.”

Metabolism

  • At rest, 33% of the body’s energy comes from carbohydrates, or glycogen, stored within the muscles and liver. 66% comes from fat.

  • During aerobic work, 50-60% of the energy comes from fats

  • Primarily carbohydrates are used during the first several minutes of exercise

  • For an average fit person, it takes 20 to 30 minutes of continuous aerobic activity to burn 50% fat and 50% carbohydrate

  • There is approximately a 7 fold increase of fat mobilization after 1 hour of exercise

  • Low intense exercise (less than 30% VO2 max) relies primarily on fat whereas high intense exercise (greater than 70% VO2 max) primarily utilized carbohydrate.

Conditioning with 5/3/1

  • “For conditioning, I highly recommend 30-40 minutes of walking every day.
    Yes, walking. If you’re asking why something so non-strenuous: if physique goals are your only concern, do not let the conditioning take away from your recovery.”
