There are many reason why we want you to wear a heart rate monitor!
Being in the perfect heart rate is very important:
1. It will keep track of your heart rate, no matter which heart rate you follow ( fat burning
Zone 1 or cardio Zone 2 and Zone 3)…how do you know when your sprint goes into
the 90% heart rate? When do you know you have achieved recovery zone?)
2. Keeps track of your caloric burn during workouts, or during a full day ( I like to wear
mine all day long which makes me realize my burned calories and keeps me from
eating more than I am allowed to)
3. Makes you want to work harder while working out!
But there are so many more reason to why to use a heart rate monitor!
Buy the one with the chest strap because of better accuracy 🙂
Your workout program should always be catered to your Nutrition intake!
Endurance Athletes need more calories, more carbohydrates, and more protein than bodybuilders do!
They are constantly breaking down protein in the muscle that needs to be replaced!
Most Bodybuilders are fat burners and their muscle works well on fat and protein!
But yes, they still need carbohydrates …..
Depending on where you are keeping your heart rate you will have to adjust your nutrition to it!
It all seams complicated, but once you get the hang of it and see what works best for your body!
