|Dan asked about aerobic threshold.  Here is a description.

I did and thanks for the info.

|Aerobic threshold is the maximum heart rate that can be supported for long
|periods of time.  As you demand more and more power from your body, the
|cardiovascular system provides more and more fuel and oxygen to provide
that
|power.

So, how does one increase one's AT?  I think I know but I have a sneaking
suspicion I'll learn something by asking!  8-)

Another question!  Is there a formula that uses your average heart rate
over a period of time to indicate many calories were burned?

Good info, I reread the post a couple of times today....
Dan
