Over Training Your Heart?

Train Hard But Smart
WHEN we are young we do not think about our heart very much. We take our hearts for granted unless we have heart health issues. When it comes to exercising we tend to jump into the process and do it without considering whether we are helping or hurting the most important muscle in our body. I would like to offer some insight in how to see if you improving or hurting your heart.
What is your resting heart rate? It has been reported that Lance Armstrong has a rate of 30 to 35 beats per minute. I believe that the average person has a rate between 50 to 100 beats per minute. Of course; each person has a health record that is dependent upon age, weight and physical condition. The better condition you are in; the slower your beat should be. To obtain your personal resting heart rate you should measure it the first thing in the morning. You should do this for at least three days in a row and then calculate the average to obtain an accurate reading. When you begin an exercise or weight loss program that involves a lot of physical exercise you should check your current rate and compare it to your beginning resting rate. Your heart beat should slow down as you get into better physical condition.
If your range begins to rise; you might be over training or working your heart too hard. It is recommended that you keep your rate within the 75 to 85% range of your maximum heart rate when you are working out. Consider this! the resting heart rate for Lance Armstrong is a direct result of all the miles that he has logged over the years. The majority of those miles were completed while he was cruising along in the 75 to 85% range of his maximum range. The point is that you can train correctly and you do not always have to go all out all the time in order to get in top physical shape!

Another advantage that I really love but are for those who are fat and also those who have the tendency of getting fat is that when doing a full body workout it helps you burn the fats in your body. By the time you are doing this, you are sweating out the metabolism in your body and don't forget to bath it out. so why don't you try this and you will realize what am talking about.
