Sally's Monthly Tips:
Take it Easy
This tip for beginners is from the newest book in the Heart
Zones library, Heart
Zones Cycling by Sally Edwards and Sally Reed :
Start your training program by gradually building up the
time you spend working out. During the first few weeks of your
training, stay in zones 1 and 2 for the majority of each
workout session to improve aerobic endurance and metabolic
fitness. Taking it easy at the beginning of your training
program will pay off in the long run! |

Quick! Put on your thinking caps and have fun answering
these quiz questions.
The first five people to email us the correct answers at news@heartzones.com will get a
free packet of workout cards called “Fitness Testing” (a $9.95
value) that measures your current level of fitness using a heart
rate monitor.
Here’s the quiz:
Question 1. In what zone do I burn the most fat?
- Maximum heart rate Zone 1
- Threshold heart rate Zone 4
- It depends—each person is different
- It depends on your current dietary intake
Question 2: What is the definition of cardiovascular
fitness?
- Burning the maximum amount of fat with each workout
- Moving or raising your Threshold as close as you can to your
maximum heart rate
- Working out at 65%-80% of your maximum heart rate
- Good nutrition and working out 3-4 times a week
Question 3: What is the new formula for
fitness?
- 220-age = maximum heart rate
- Caloric burn rate = optimum fitness
- VO2 max = aerobic capacity
- Metabolic fitness + emotional fitness + cardiovascular fitness
= total body fitness

You’re receiving this e-newsletter for a reason. Perhaps you
have purchased a book, heart rate monitor or other product from our
website. Perhaps it’s because you participated in a Danskin
Triathlon and were motivated by Sally Edwards. Perhaps it’s because
you were just interested in your own heart rate or your doctor gave
you an ultimatum: get healthy or take a pill!
Whatever your
reason, you came to Heart Zones for its reputation for being the
leader in heart rate training and education. But, did you know that
Heart Zones Events holds motivating seminars, workshops and
certifications around the country? Attending a Heart Zones event is
like rejuvenating your life: body and soul. Our Heart Zones Master
Trainers have been through a rigorous training program to be able to
meet our extremely high standards and deliver an event full of
education, learning, and motivation: all of which is individually
tailored to meet your needs. Our Master Trainers actually take the
time to get to know YOU and your reasons for being there. Attending
a seminar is more than just sitting in a room; it’s an interactive
session. We move, we test, we ask questions, we learn from each
other.
Isn’t it time you took the time to take yourself (both body and
soul) to the next level?
Check our calendar below for upcoming
events:
