TRAINING WITH HEARTRATE
When training, it is important to keep an eye on your heart rate. The level of your heart rate

User ManUal
CARVING FITNESS™ | 9
will inuence the outcome of the training. In order to calculate the best heart rate for your-
self will depend on your age. Based on that, it is possible to then work out your maximum
heartbeat. Secondly, the optimum pulse depends on your training goal. When/if your train-
ing goal is fat loss, you should train at 60-65% of your heart maximum rate.
Example to calculate fat loss : maximum heart beat is 220 minus your age x 65%
Maximum heart beat for an optimum fat loss for a person of 40 years old :
220–40=180x65%=117Bpm
If your training goal is to improve your condition it is best to exercise at 80-85% of your
heart rate.
Maximum heart beat for an optimum condition for a person of 40 years old :
220–40=180x80%=144Bpm
The body stores energy in 2 forms, carbohydrates and fats. During exertion we use a com-
bination of these 2 energy supplies. When the exercise intensity is high the body will mainly
choose fast burning energy, namely carbohydrates. As the body only has a limited supply of
this, this can only be sustained for a short time. By training at a low intensity, the body will
chose a prolonged energy supply, namely fat. As this is stored in large quantities in the body
, it is possible to sustain this for a longer period.
