Doing cardio without knowing your heart rate is like lifting weights without knowing how much they weigh. You’re training without crucial information! But once you calculate your maximum heart rate and heart rate percentages, you can customize your cardio for maximum fat loss, calorie burn, and overall health!

Now that you know your maximum heart rate and percentages, here are your next steps:
1. Pick a workout plan
A strategic approach to cardiovascular training is great. Cardiovascular training alongside resistance training is even better! Following a well-designed lifting program will help you reach your fitness and physique goals faster.
2. Calculate Your Macros
Alongside how you train and perform cardio, how you eat will play a major part in your success! The Bodybuilding.com Macronutrient Calculator will give you a daily target for not only protein, but also carbohydrates, dietary fats, and calories.
