Dont know which section this should go in .... hope it will get answered quickly here ... thanks

30yr old male ... 6ft ... 225lbs ... out of shape :( Riding mountain bike on the trails and have a heartrate monitor.

When Im pusing it out there Im sitting at 170-75...I maxed out at 180..and avg 162 for a 40 min ride. Bsacially when Im at 170-175 I can barley breath right and I feel like Im gonna puke on acct of my poor shape. Should I be making sure to stay in my target rates..I tihnk 135-156?

Please Advise ... thanks :)
 
Are you trying to KILL yourself????

You say you are out of shape so your max heart rate is about 190, but you should be working out at about 55-70% of your max (105- 133). If you continue to ride you will be able to increase your heart rate to a healthy 161 without throwing up. 170-175 is way too high for where you are athletically right now.

Here is some good Heart Rate information



This will tell you what rate you should be working at:
