Here's a brief explanation re: target heart rate goals.
https://www.sparkpeople.com/resource...tor_target.asp The way I set my step goals was kind of based on the ideas presented in the book "Mini Habits for Weight Loss." I started out with a low (for me!) and very achievable step count of, let's say, 5000 steps a day (on average). If I exceeded that goal for the week, then I would increase my goal to reflect what I was actually doing. Basically, though, my goals was to exceed my goal each week and increase my daily average step count by 500 steps a day. So week 1 was 5000 steps a day, week 2 was 5500, etc. But I actually was able to speed up that process somewhat when I figured out I was underestimating what I could actually do. The Mini Habits book stressed starting out with easily achievable goals, so that you will feel good about achieving something, and those good feelings would motivate you to do more. It worked for me! HTH, Donna
