Adderall+cardio- whats a healthy heart rate???
by Stephaniegaier, Jul 22, 2008 01:05PM
I TAKE 15MG OF ADDERALL EVERY DAY FOR ADD -I HAVE BEEN TAKING ADDERALL FOR 3 YEARS NOW. I AM A 22 YEAR OLD FEMALE AND AS FAR AS I KNOW I AM HEALTHY. I RECENTLY STARTED WORKING WITH A PERSONAL TRAINER- SHE TELLS ME FOR MY AGE AND WEIGHT THAT I SHOULD KEEP MY HEART RATE BETWEEN 130-140BMP FOR 45-60 MINS A DAY TO BURN FAT.
PROBLEM/QUESTION: I THINK BECAUSE OF THE ADDERALL MY HEART RATE IS WAY TOO HIGH AND I FEEL LIKE I HARDLY HAVE TO MOVE IN ORDER TO GET MY HEARTRATE IN THE 130S- IF I WALKED OR BIKED TO THE SPEED AND INTENSITY WHERE I FEEL ID GET RESULTS MY HEARTRATE WOULD GO INTO THE 180S- EASILY!!!!!
HOW DOES ADDERALL EFFECT YOUR HEARTRATE WHILE DOING CARDO EXCERSIZE? SHOULD I CONTINUE WALKING SLOWLY TO GET TO MY 'TARGET' HEARTRATE OR CAN I MAKE MY TARGET HEARTRATE FASTER SO I CAN GET A SWEAT WHEN I WORK OUT???
