Anotherwards, plateau your heart rate. (Do not yo-yo your heart rate) Keep your HR at a level-range that is challenging however, your target range should be possible for you to maintain. Do not over exert your self where you cannot maintain a plateau. Reason: The human brain will realize the elevated plateau and then be more consistant in its breathing pattern and call upon energy (calories) to maintain the body. Because the brain expects a faster heart beat for a longer period of time, it will not try to ride it out. Rather, it will feed the body (calories) to better deal with the long term exertion that is expected. http://www.v-com.com/erichubscherpfisite_021.htm Thu, 15 Nov 2007 13:45:22 GMT Eric Hubscher This type of breathing is the opposite for burning calories. Most often used for sports or any activity where a high spike in breathing is required. Short - Bursts. http://www.v-com.com/erichubscherpfisite_021.htm Thu, 15 Nov 2007 13:45:22 GMT Eric Hubscher
