Before I do my usual weights routine at the gym, I spend 20 minutes on the elliptical. Within 60 seconds my heart rate is usually above 165-170 and over then next 2-3 minutes it quickly climbs into the 180's. Until about the last five minutes of the workout it is usually around 189-194. For the last five minutes it will usually be between 193-197 but it has gotten up to 207 at times. My theoretical max rate is 220-19=201 (is this right?). Is it bad for me to keep my HR up so high throughout my workout? I have been working out only for a couple weeks (3 times a week) and I am out of shape (193 at 5'9" and I'm not strong).
