CARDIO COACHING 101 - WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU!!!

•Calculate Resting Heart Rate. This number is important in determining the heart rate training zone to start with.  Training zones based on the standard of 220 minus your age is just not accurate!  There are a few other important factors involved in determining your own personal training zones.

• Instruction on various forms of cardio equipment.  Trust me, a treadmill is NOT just a treadmill.....and walking is not just walking.  I've got the tips on how to use equipment beyond what meets the eye.

•Game plan!!  You can't live on level 1 on the Life Cycle or run the same route.  A cyclical plan including developing an aerobic base, interval training, and recovery periods are critical to heart health/safety.

•Form, technique, and strategy coaching for program adherence, enjoyment, and maximum results.

Understanding how your body responds to the stress of exercise is very important.  I can teach you how to know the difference between "I really don't have it in me today to do this" and "I'm just feeling lazy and not motivated".  Cardiorespiratory exercise may seem like a simple endeavor, and it should be, but there always seems to be some excuse for not getting it done.  I have spent the last 11 years developing tactics that allow people to work with what they have and to be able to mark their progress with the use of a Heart Rate Monitor.  This is a tool I truly believe in and have had great success with.  Please visit www.polarusa.com for more information.
