at balies spa i took a fitness test and it said very poor?

Ask one of the healthy instructors to hop on the machine and see what they can do.

i'm retired military. the army, for me, became doing a gaggle of stuff i did no longer prefer to do. this might properly be a sparkling one even with the incontrovertible fact that.... i'm going to point somewhat here: I had to take a psychiatric attempt in the process my youngster years. i found out i might desire to defeat the attempt by ability of giving all the "appropriate" solutions, and that i did. If I have been nonetheless in, i could in all probability do an identical for his or her stupid religious well being attempt. the factor i'm attempting to make is the attempt might help human beings; yet, for people who're annoyed at having to take it, they're going to discover the "appropriate" solutions. Checking the blocks has been an prolonged unstated custom interior the army. squaddies do it properly. have self belief me, I HATE the theory that squaddies are being ordered to take this style of attempt, and something of it. i'm uncertain how a Chaplain can exchange an F right into a passing grade. so a techniques as people who "failed," i can purely desire them the terrific, no longer understanding the specifics. i comprehend it sucks at cases, been there and carried out it. EDIT: Now i visit look for a spiritual well being attempt, i'm curious.

I believe fitness levels are measured by recovery rates.

In other words, your heart rate should reduce quickly after exertion. If you are at a club aska trainer to give you a real test, it shouldn't cost much and you may have already paid for one in your membership.

Alot of the times the people at Bally's are young and so damm lazy that all they worry about is your pocket-book rather than change the batteries for the on-board computer to keep accurate info on the display panel. If you injure yourself because of their negligence, ( you know what to do )

There are several ways to find out your true fitness level without going to a human performance lab:

#1It is always a good idea to first check with a doctor, and let them know what you are going to do, before actually doing it.

With the disclaimers out of the way, and I am not responsible for losses:

*Get a heart rate monitor--If you really want to exercise the right way, the best way is to have the proper tool. www.polar.com has them.

* Once armed with the monitor, you want to establish your resting heart rate (RHR). The best time to find out your resting heart rate is in the morning, after a good night's sleep, and before you get out of bed.

The heart beats about 60 to 80 times a minute when we're at rest. Resting heart rate usually rises with age, and it's generally lower in physically fit people. Resting heart rate is used to determine one's training target heart rate. Athletes sometimes measure their resting heart rate as one way to find out if they're overtrained. The heart rate adapts to changes in the body's need for oxygen, such as during exercise or sleep.

Once you know your resting heart rate, you can then determine your target training heart rate. Target heart rates let you measure your initial fitness level and monitor your progress in a fitness program. You do this by measuring your pulse periodically as you exercise and staying within 50 to 75 percent of your maximum heart rate. This range is called your target heart rate.

The figures below are averages, so use them as general guidelines.

For a person 40 years of age, Target HR Zone = 50-75 % which is about 90–135 beats per minute.

Average Maximum Heart Rate 100 % = 180 beats per minute

If you’re just starting a program, aim at the lowest part of your target zone (50 percent) during the first few weeks. Gradually build up to the higher part of your target zone (75 percent). After six months or more of regular exercise, you may be able to exercise comfortably at up to 85 percent of your maximum heart rate. However, you don't have to exercise that hard to stay in shape.

Thebest training zones for you would be approximately:

100 to 120BPM -for "fat" burning--about 30-45 minutes

123 - 144 "fitness zone" Once you have been exercising for a while, you may want to devote once per week 30 minutes in this zone

144- 180 "performance zone" you can come up to this zone, once in a while, to improve your overall fitness, but dont stay here too long...5 minutes, max..

I know this is a lot of number crunching, but this all leaves no doubt at all of your fitness state... one more test you want to do once in a while is to get the monitor, a stopwatch and exercise for 3-5 minutes at about 80% of your maximum heart rate.

at the end of the test, sit and see how fast you recover to the number you had when you first started. if you recover within a 30-45 second time frame, you are in the right track. Anything more shows that you are working out too hard or not enough----fitness is all about balance.

Good luck and I hope this clears out any myths.

most life cycles you can adjust the tention so it does not pedal so fast to get the heart rate up, how them show you how to adjust it for you and re try your test

Maybe they are programmed to say very poor on everyone so that you won't quit the gym.

Just a theory.
