Welcome! If you are just starting out, I would suggest building an aerobic base.

You can do this by staying close to the 70%, not the 85%. Say between 120 and 130. This will train your muscles to become efficient at burning fat, and will not add too much extra stress to your life. Many people exercise to reduce stress, but some of us actually add stress to our lives by exercising too hard or too long!
