3J (or anyone)
3J recommends empty stomach cardio and keeping heart rate under 130 well for the last year or so I have been doing that and have seen some pretty incredible results. Well this whole time vie been using the treadmil/bikel heart rate monitor. I always assumed it was off but didn't realize how much. For the last two weeks vie been using a polar heart rate monitor and watch and watching my heart rate religiously throughout the day. I know my fitness level has gone thru the roof but now my heart tart on my empty stomach cardio never gets above 106. I do the maximum incline at 4.1-4.3 mph. Anything faster would be a jog. Do I start jogging to try and raise my heart rate? Or is 106 sufficient? I could also do the stepper which would raise it but at one time 3J thought that might be a bad idea on empty stomach. Thoughts?
