Peak Heart Rate, Is it necessary

‎05-23-2017 18:00

I Jazzercise 5 days a week and I love it.  But I never hit peak heart rate.  Depending on which class I'm taking, I split between cardio and fat burn.  I feel great, I'm at a good, healthy weight and I love what I do.  But I'm wondering what exercising at peak heart rate does for a person and can I be maximizing my work outs by getting my heart rate up (which honestly I'm not sure how I would because I work really hard during each class).

 

Thoughts?

FWIW, it’s very hard for me to reach peak rate when doing stationary activities. OTOH, I can do it when running uphill (if the hill is long enough). If you can run, try running outdoors. Or try the farmer’s walk!

Most kinds of HIIT training will get you into the peak zone.
