Before i started the training programme my heart rate:
Resting heart rate: 72bpm
Recovery heart rate:120bpm

I decided on the order of my exercise pan bearing the following things in mind:i had a day off this way i wouldn’t overwork myself.

Progression: i increased the amount of training i done but steadily increased the amount to avoid injury.
