yeah sound pretty right to me, but in that lil article i posted didnt say anything about how fit you are, it would be diff for a olimpic runner, but i guessing for the average person - healthy person whats said in the article is right
Irrespective of fitness level, the same rule applies.
The difference is, an elite athlete will have to work at a harder level/faster speed/steeper incline to get their HR up, whereas a very unconditioned person may find walking at a very slow speed on a treadmill is enough to get their HR elevated.
However, as your fitness levels improve, your work level will need to increase accordingly to enable you to still get the same benefit.
By this I mean if previously you worked at level 6 on a machine, you may need to increase that to level 7 to work at the same level (of intensity).
That's why new gym members will frequently be heard saying "it's getting a lot easier now" when talking about their workouts. They've increased their fitness so what they were previously doing is not as challenging any more. So basically they need to work harder!!!!
