THE GOAL HERE IS TO MAINTAIN HEART RATE TO SIT BETWEEN 57-74% OF MAXIMUM HEART RATE
USE THE FOLLOWING EQUATION TO GET AN ESTIMATED MAXIMUM HEART RATE:
206.9 - (0.67 X AGE) = ESTIMATED MAX HEART RATE or EMHR
EMHR X 0.57 = LOW RANGE OF HEART RATE
EMHR X 0.74 = HIGH RANGE OF HEART RATE
FOCUS ON KEEPING YOUR HEART RATE IN BETWEEN THE LOW AND HIGH HEART RATES
DAY TWO & DAY FOUR
DAY TWO & DAY FOUR ARE REST AND RELAX DAYS. MAKE SURE TO FUEL UP AND RECUPERATE. FOAM ROLLING AND MOBILITY WORK WOULD BE THE MOST ACTIVITY DESIRED
