One of the great things about exercising is that you can always combine exercises and you will never get bored. Of course you can run around the house for 20 minutes but that is totally boring, isn’t it? If you like swimming, riding a bike or playing tennis you can incorporate the exercises in your fitness routine. Also, remember that the body likes to be challenged. If in the beginning you’ll see results pretty quickly after running every other day, in a couple of weeks the body will get used to it and you won’t see any results.

The aerobic exercises should raise your hear rate. Expert recommend elevating your hear rate with 60-85% of the maximum heart rate. You can calculate the maximum heart rate by using this formula: 208 – (0.7 x Age). Hence for a 25 years old person the maximum heart rate is: 208 – (0.7 x 25) = 190 beats per minute. Then, 60% of it is 114 and 85% of it is 152, so the aerobic range for a 25 years old person is 114-152 beats per minute. If you don’t have a heart monitor, count your pulse for 15 seconds and multiply by 4.
