Me and Eunice bought ourselves a new treadmill so we can start exercising. It says for my age and weight my target heart rate for burning fat is only 116! That's not very high, heck just getting up off the couch gets me close to that. I want to start jogging but if I do my heart rate goes up to 160 and the speed is barely fats enough to have to jog (we're talking 4 MPH). Does this mean I can't run and have to walk at a slow pace. Will I ever be able to run and keep my heart rate in the target fat burning zone? What happens if I jog and my heart rate stay up in the 150's. We spent 4K on this treadmill and I think it was a waste of money. Looking for some advice on getting started with exercise.
I'm not looking to run any marathons but it would be nice to be able to jog for 30 minutes with out blowing my heart out of my chest. My Doctor told me exercise would be good for me and he says my heart is healthy after my last stress test a few months ago.
