I exercised for 90 minutes straight yesterday on my stair-climber and elliptical machine.

I wanted to see how long I can stand it. I had to stop because my muscles were starting to cramp up and I was getting light headed.

But I was able to average 135 heart rate during the 90 minutes and achieved a maximum heart rate of 162.

Is this a good fitness for a woman my age?

Well done you. It means you are amazingly fit compared to the immense heaps of blubber I see walking around. Keep it up, but small exertions frequently are better. Be proud......
