    Target Heart rate

    Hey guys.. doing my morning cardio + diet + eca stack.. how do I figure out my target heart rate? I usually do 20-25 on bike then 20-25 on eliptical machine. any specific rev's per minute I should aim for on the eliptical? I guess it varies person to person eh?

    220 - (your age) then take that number and multiply it by .65 and .75 whatever this will give you your target heart rate zone.

    phatmark is correct only way you can tell for sure is to get a heart rate monitor. its so cheap and would be a good investment in the long run.
