There is really no appropriate reason that a healthy individual must do a low intensity exercise routine unless they just aren't truly interested in achieving good results.

The only reason someone might be interested in doing low intensity workout routines is if he or she is really not interested in achieving good results. A low intensity training, which means exercises during which your heart rate is around 60% of its maximum rate, are fairly ineffective for anything other than very slow and gradual weight loss. This type of workout will not do a lot when it comes to strength and endurance. It would not help in muscle mass building nor would it help boost the metabolism.

Workouts that push the heart rate to at least 75% of its maximum are known as high intensity workouts and are truly better when it comes to your overall health.

Your maximum heart rate could be determined by subtracting your present age from 220. So if a person is 30 years old, she or he will have a maximum heart rate of one hundred ninety beats per minute. The term "maximum heart rate" is something you must not be worried about. You aren't going to injure the heart if you go up to or over this heart rate.

The two hundred twenty-age method is only an approximation and, depending on your individual physiology, you may find yourself going above that number. Because it is really not possible to damage a healthy heart by working out, that's nothing to be concerned about.

The right time for low intensity exercises is before or after high intensity workouts because they could help you cool down or warm up. For the elderly, for those who are just starting to workout, for individuals who are overweight and out of shape, and for individuals recovering from an injury or sickness, it is much better if you do low intensity exercises.

If you're among the many people who are doing low intensity exercises because your personal trainer recommended it then you're not receiving the great results high intensity workouts can offer. Confusion and personal protection are normally the reasons why a personal trainer would recommend low intensity exercises that are less effective.

If a trainer prefers a safer method that can cause the least harm and recommends low intensity training so as to prevent lawsuits then this is referred to as personal protection. Nearly all trainers who will do this are either entirely uncertain of their abilities, intending to be absent for their clients training session, or just unfit to be a trainer.
