Default Heart rate training

The guidelines normally used is very basic, but will give you a good target to shoot for ...

220 - age = MAXIMUM heart rate

Then, take a percentage of this (figure 65% and also 80%) to get your training "zone". Try to stay near the middle of these two, and get up to the higher number once or twice during the workout.

After you "spike" to the top of your zone, reduce your pace until you drop to the bottom of your zone, then repeat the process until you are done "serving your time" on the treadmill/elliptical trainer/sidewalk/etc.

As for Metabolife, it is good to use for 3 to 4 weeks, then you will want to switch to a product theat helps support your thyroid.

Since LipoK is off the market now, a good alternative is a product called ThyroLean (I think MHP makes it). It's not the same, but it serves the purpose.

To get into the "deep geek" of it, the way to tell if your thyroid is slowing down your progress is this:

Take your temperature every morning. When it drops more than .3 to .5 below normal for 3 days straight, it is time to get support for your thyroid.

Just another trick of the trade ...
