Re: Al Sears

Mouseclick,
this is the latest news from Al Sears MD re' the PACE Programme in losing weight via prolonging ketosis for hours after the exercise session is over, coupled with Heart and Lung health.......................

"If you’ve been using PACE® properly, you know that the key to achieving your goals is to reach the supra-aerobic zone.

But many of my patients tell me they’re not sure how to tell if they’ve reached their supra-aerobic zone or whether they’re doing their exertion and recovery periods properly. On top of that, some of them have had a hard time tracking their progress.

Here’s what I tell them: Measuring your heart rate is critical to the success of your PACE® Program. Your heart rate gives a clear and accurate picture of your progress. It helps you …

Track Recovery Time. Your recovery time is a marker for your heart health. If your heart rate doesn’t slow down at least 30 beats in the first minute, you’re in poor shape. If your recovery heart rate slows down more than fifty beats in the first minute, you’re in excellent shape.
Gauge the Intensity of Your Exertion. Measuring intensity is an important aspect of your PACE® workouts. Under- perform and you won’t get the benefits. Over-perform and you’ll put yourself at risk. If your heart rate is less than your target range during exercise, you can speed up or work harder. But if your heart rate is higher than your target zone, you’ll need to slow down.

Determine Whether You’ve Entered the “Supra-aerobic Zone.” When you finish an exertion period and go into a recovery period, your heart rate should go up a few ticks. This usually takes place in the first 10 to 15 seconds. As your recovery period continues, your heart rate will start to come down. This is a sure-fire way to know you’re doing PACE® correctly and will help you build a bulletproof heart and powerful lungs.
Personally, I use a heart rate monitor during all of my PACE® workouts. It makes it much easier to track my heart rate than stopping to count pulse beats. Plus, some of the features – especially the alarms and timers – come in handy".
