Heart Rate Monitor
I've talked in the infomercial and on this site about how important the heart rate monitor is. It's so important that I told my business partners that I wanted to give one away with every YRG Fitness System order -- so that no one had any excuses as to why they didn't know when they were in their Fat Burning zone. The Fat Burning zone is literally the fat burning zone. Why would you want to work out in any other zone? To get the maximum results, wearing a heart rate monitor is key.
Most of us think the harder we work, the better results we'll see. Not true when it comes to exercise! Working smarter is more important than working harder. Wearing a heart rate monitor will let you know exactly when you are burning fat most efficiently.
What we want to find is your Fat Burning Zone. Calculating your Fat Burning Zone is simple. Subtract your age from 180. For a 40-year-old, your maximum heart rate would be 140. Now to find your range, subtract another 20. So for a 40-year-old, the Fat Burning Zone is between 120 and 140 beats per minute.
YRG Fat Burning Zone
180- (your age) = Top of Range
Top of Range - 20 = Bottom of Range
Wear your heart rate monitor during all YRG workouts. It's not only your guide, it's your speedometer and your RPM gauge! The strap goes right where you would strap on a bra -- yes, for you guys as well. Right under your chest muscles. The "watch" goes on your wrist and tells you how many times your heart is beating per minute.
Check it frequently. If you are not at your minimum, ramp it up! Engage those muscles and add more Dynamic Resistance. And if you're over your maximum, take it down a notch. Stop engaging in Dynamic Resistance, or go into Safety Zone. You may be surprised, at first, how quickly you can jack your heart rate up to aerobic levels with a No Impact workout.
People often think I'm pulling one over on them when I tell them they get an aerobic workout from YRG. Once you strap on that heart rate monitor, you will have no doubt that your heart is getting a heck of a workout. In fact, YRG provides just as good of a cardio workout as if you were running on a treadmill or asphalt, but with no impact! Your knees and hips will thank you.
