| Ok this may sound weird but when I exercise I do not seem to sweat a whole lot. What I do is the elliptical trainer machine and currently I am doing it at level 3-4 intensity for anywhere between 30-60 mins sometimes more. I calculated my target heart rate and it should be between 134-165 beates per minute. I'm age 26. When I exercise I have to force myself to slow down because working out in this range just seems overly slow and easy for me. Not to mention that I hardly sweat! When doing elliptical at a faster speed which feels more comfortable for me my heart rate gets into the 175 range. Is that normal? is working out in your target heart range supposed to feel that easy? or should I step my heart rate up some. I don't know if that's healthy or ok to do so. Any suggestions will be helpfull.

How did you calculate your target heart rate?
I am assuming you used a formula to calculate your maximum heart rate. It's usually more accurate to actually physically measure your maximum heart rate - perhaps it's higher than what the formula will give you, therefore affecting the target heart rate. There are plenty of ways to get to your max heart rate - a simple internet search should give you many options.
