AEROBIC FITNESS TRAINING - Wednesday February 17th

GOOD, BETTER, BEST

When it comes to aerobic fitness training here's the recipe.

4 times a week is good, 5 times is better and 6 times is best.

20 minutes is good, 30 is better and 40 is best.

Heart rate of 120 beats per minute is good, 130 bpm is better and 140 bpm is best. That's based on the recommendations of any one who's around 40 years of age, but can be extended to well over 70 if you're in good nick.

On the track
O woe is me. Just turning around the McDonald's marker and I felt a twinge in the upper part of my left calf. Had to walk the rest of the way home.

Went to the gym after work and had a good workout.

In the meantime stay tuned, highly tuned and remember, good, better, best and never let it rest, 'til your good is better and your better is best.

YOU CAN'T TRAIN HARD ALL THE TIME

Health Blogarithm for 20th of December 2009

You can't train hard all the time.

I was tired today. Could only manage 30 minutes on the stepper with the heart rate just over 100 - hardly tricking over, but after the two previous day's workouts of 140BPM for over and hour each day, there wasn't much left in the tank.

Coupled with the 40 minute walk all up a miserly 70 Aerabytes.

Good news though. We had a street party at our place and recruited two new blokes for the morning walk, another Peter and Noel.

Didn't over do it in the horses douvers: weight 85.6Kg

In the meantime stay tuned, highly tuned, and keep in mind your body needs a rest now and then.
