Hi Guys! Hope your all well...
I've been doing the VLCD for 4 weeks now and last week I started going to the gym. Normally I go hell for leather for an hour and feel (and look!) really knackered afterwards.
This time I decided to make use of the programmes on the gym equipment. According to the chart, for fat burning I need to keep my heart rate at about 130 for optimum fat burning (higher heart rate leads to cardio training rather then fat burning). I have to go REALLY slow to keep my heart rate down and my body doesnt feel like I've done much when I've finished after an hour.
So, my question is, am I better sticking to the fat burning heart rate and trusting the equipment or should I do my usual and go hell for leather?!?
Cheers guys!!!
