Cardio on Treadmill ? about incline/speed/timing
just curious to hear a few of yours routine on the treadmill.. i was planning on doing stairmaster, but then i realized that the machine i thought was a stairmaster was some kind of cross country crap machine... so anyways.. i was wondering how you guys do it.. do you do like 5mph at an incline of 5?? or 8mph at 0 for 2 min then 5mph for 2 min or what?? just trying to get some ideas for my PWO run/jog/walk.. starting at 20 min intend to get up to 30-40 eventually.

What puts my HR in the correct range isnt necessarily what going to put yours in the correct range, actually I am postive they wont be the same. If you are doing fasted steady state cardio pick an intensity that gets you in that 120-135 range and keep it there. You might have to slow it down or back off the incline after a certain amount of minutes to keep from getting too high until you get into better condition.

ok i have a heart rate monitor so that is no problem.. so just keep it between 120-135?? my resting heart rate is high 90's (even when i am not on clen ). (just tested it, was 98 right now sitting on my couch watching tv).. so should i shoot for something little higher than that since most people's heart rate is about 20bpm lower than mine? so say maybe 130-150?

Your resting HR is elevated because you are overweight and out of shape. Your heart is having to work much harder than it should largely due to those circumstances. I dont mean that to sound like a personal attack just stating the facts. That alone should keep you motivated to stay on track. I would be very careful with the clen as well knowing this. If it were me I would drop it altogether and lose it through diet and cardio alone. That said, the 120-135 range should still work quite well for you, no need to jack it up faster than that. I would chart that resting HR and see how much it drop as you shed some of these unwanted lbs.

yeah.. that is what i have read too.. basically the higher your heart rate the more unhealthy you are and the shorter you live.. I am curious if my exorbitant amount of cocaine usage in college contributes to this a bit a well?? i suppose we will see what happens when i lose the fat and if my HR goes down or not.. i don't think i will ever get to 60.. but 80 would be nice... it has a lot to do with cardio as well doesn't it?? i.e. just running a few miles a day gets this down a lot?? is it not more about that than it is with the extra fat on my body?
anyways.. doing a moderate cycle on the stationary bike going 17-18kph at 5 out of 8 resistance kept me at 145bpm.. so i can only imagine where it is at during rugby practice..
