HPRC staff get many Ask the Expert questions from Military Service Members, and the answers often include important information that can help you stay mission-ready, so you can perform well.
Last week I performed 780 minutes of moderate- to high-intensity exercise based on age-calculated, heart-rate percentages—and read that it might be TOO much. This week I’m on target to burn a combined total of 11,700 kCal in exercise alone, which might be a bit much as well. What are your thoughts?
