Workout - Circuit Training(for 11 through 60 year old)

Execute the workout as a light to medium hard aerobic workout by keeping your heart rate up to at least 65 to 85% of your Maximum Heart rate, for 45 minutes.

To determine this training heart rates take the equation of 220 and subtract your age.

Let us say you are 13 years old. Take 220 - 13 = 207. Two hundred and seven beats is your maximum heart rate. We want to train aerobically (with oxygen) to get the benefits. As a 13 year old, the light end 65% would be 142 beats per minute the 75% would be 155 beats. Therefore, when you take your heart rate it should be 14 to 16 beats for six seconds. Multiply 14 x 10 = 140 beats per minutes; this is low end of the THR (train heart rate).for one minute. Take your heartbeat in-between your workout for six seconds by counting with zero for the first heartbeat. A medium-hard to hard work out, your heart rate will probably be 17 to 19 beats for 10 seconds. This workout is supposed to be a medium to had workout.
