    Why?

    I've played sports my entire life, so my body is used to the idea of increased heartrates. My at rest is around 60 or so and I am back to 60 within 5 minutes or so even after I run 8 miles.

    If you keep your muscles working for more than 90 minutes or so they start to use the fast twitch muscles which also burns fat.

    I have no idea if your heart is a fast or slow twitch muscle

    Anybody know what a good resting heart rate should be? Is there a formula to calculate that based on your age?

    For normal people 55 - 72 is fine. For Miguel Indurain - 28.

    Don't know why. Was just told to do that by my doc and trainer type guy. He also told the Bobcat basketball player standing next to me the same thing so playing sports must not play into this thing. I think it has something to do with determining if what you are doing is actually helping your heart.

    My heart rate is usually about 110 to 120 when I get on the bike but I lift weights for a while first so that is not my resting heart rate. I need to check and see what my resting rate is....

    all the heart people I had to deal with seem to be big on that stuff. Not just for heart attack patients but for everyone. Oxygen level seems to be a big deal. You don't have to be in bad shape to have a heart attack or angina. Stress, cholestrol, and inherited things can get you quick.
    Right now, the number one killer of women in America is heart disease. Most never see it coming. I forget the per cent that occur on a treadmill but it's very high and blamed mostly on the fact that people use treadmills the wrong way.

    Treadmills suck. How anyone can run on them is beyond me.

    That's why I quit that rehab thing. I found out that over 60% of second heart attacks occur on treadmills and close to 40% of those are fatal. Don't know if it might be because they using you like a guinea pig but I hauled ass and told them to keep the money.
