yes!!!....bcuz ur heart gets more effecient so it requires more work
like when u get bigger and need more calories..
the only constant thing is change.....
Yup yup!
increase speed!
switch to the stairmaster, if that doesnt get your heart rate up nothing will
Most people resting heart rate is 70 Lance Armstrongs is 40!
40 thats incredible, I consider myself in good physical shape, I hike and ski at altitudes around 9000-13000 feet, and my resting heart rate is around 80 I think. I can hike all day without getting tired but my heart rate usually stays up there
"The only constant thing is change"...that's very existential of you IronFreakX! :aaGreen22Quote:

that is exactly what I was thinking....I wouldnt put too much faith in the cardio machines heart rate monitor...I have been on some that gave me my heart rate without even having the touched the sensors...Quote:
