Cardio heart rate question

[Bigpump Member Find all posts View Profile Close Bigpump]

How close does everyone here follow their heart rate during cardio? I know the basic math, 200-your age is max heart rate. Run cardio at 60-80% of max.

Just curious how closely everyone sticks to that or do you at all?

With running clen right now, I can't really push very hard without going over that 80% number.

I think that all depends on your goals. I've read that if you want to loose BF then keep your Heart rate at 70-80% of max if not then you begin to burn muscle, which makes sense cause look at people that jog alot or do aerobics they are very very lean with hardly any muscle definition.

I also stay around here, but I'm trying to accomplish two thing at once. I need to burn fat and I need to get my cardio up for my MMA training.
