Trouble Staying in Target HR Zone.

On the basis that a good warm up is key to staying within target HR Zone, especially for the lower fat-burn zone of 126 bpm. Will experiment with starting walking at 4 kph and every 30 secs add 0.5 until I come up to target HR. Currently this is jogging at 6.6kph.
I expect that as I loose weight and as my body adapts, that within the 10 minute warm up, I will be able to jog up to 8kph, still remaining under the 126 target, stay there for 2 minutes and increase to 9kph for another 2 minutes. Continue to my goal of 10kph at 126bpm.
From here I should be able to start any workout without peaking my HR.
