A member asked:
How much cardio should you do a day to get a resting heart rate of 60?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart rate: The goal of cardiovascular exercise isn't necessarily to reduce your resting heart rate. The goal is fitness. The heart rate will decrease relative to your fitness level.
