i am 24

so my max is 196 220-age

so... 126bpm is 65% of my max heart rate,,

to be honest i find that does fuk all.. i normally try and do my cardio at roughly 145bpm as i get good results from that..

imo cardio should be used to keep a healthy heart aswell as burning fat..

100bpm is fuk all imo

i'd say max heart rate - 25/30% is about right (for me anyway)

u cannot say do 65RPM on a bike its totally different from bike to bike and fitness levels play a huge part also, plus the level u have the machine on..

shoot for 140bpm and then move it either way from there
