I found out some beneficial information so today I would like to talk a little bit more about exercising. Although I am definitely not a fan of working out, I understand the importance. I'm not the type to work out every day, I fall short many of times but again we must be aware of what can happen if we do not take care of ourselves.
A healthy heart is without doubt the most important muscle you need for good health and exercise is a great way to obtain it so it is wise to. According to http://www.unique-bodyweight-exercises.com/healthy-heart.html The reason exercise works to keep your heart healthy is because when you train your heart is required to work harder than normal and therefore pumps more oxygen filled blood throughout your body. This improves your circulation and helps to keep all of your organs and muscles healthy.
In order to burn FAT and NOT MUSCLE you must maintain a healthy heart rate according to the AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION. The table below shows estimated target heart rates for different ages. Look for the age category closest to yours, then read across to find your target heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is about 220 minus your age. The figures below are averages, so use them as general guidelines.
| Age | Target HR Zone, 50-85% | Average Maximum Heart Rate, 100% |
| 20 years | 100-170 beats per minute | 200 beats per minute |
| 25 years | 98-166 beats per minute | 195 beats per minute |
| 30 years | 95-162 beats per minute | 190 beats per minute |
| 35 years | 93-157 beats per minute | 185 beats per minute |
| 40 years | 90-153 beats per minute | 180 beats per minute |
| 45 years | 88-149 beats per minute | 175 beats per minute |
| 50 years | 85-145 beats per minute | 170 beats per minute |
| 55 years | 83-140 beats per minute | 165 beats per minute |
