I have a cross trainer, (well it's my cousins actually but lives in my house these days..) I couldn't make it to 2 mins when I first started and that was slow. So gradually I added 15 seconds and a bit of speed and 2 mths later, I can do fast rate for 6 mins (still increasing it, but by 30 seconds now).

I don't go by heart rate, as I think any exercise is good.. I also do a low impact aerobic class so I guess that gets my heart rate going.



Good luck getting fit.. the more you do the easier it gets (but one step at a time..)
