[Lotus]

I just re-read your last two posts again Lotus " alt="" title="">  So good to know doing exercise before pumping/massaging is a good idea, too!

For whoever that may want to know her/his heart rate. You have to calculate it with this scheme: 220 - ___ (your age). This would be your maximum heart rate. My case: 193 max, since I am 27 years old.

Then, it's also pretty important to notice at which heart-rate level you may want to workout: super light, light, moderate or hard-at its maximum. I always do light-moderate and the last couple of mins hard, when I do cardio. In lifting terms, I do moderate always but this is just my preference, too. These scales are very easy to notice: light is when you feel you can breathe and talk while you workout; moderate is when you can still talk, but breathing is a bit harder; and hard is when you are sweating a lot hahaha. Watch out these intensities, since they're very helpful to stay healthy and seems good for NBE, too ^^

My example, as well:

Light scale heart-rate: 116 to 135

Moderate:135 to 154

Hard: 154 to 193 (depends a lot on which exercise you do to reach this stage)

 

Great tips sweetorange, thanks for sharing.
