This is so cool!!!
A couple of weeks ago I was talking with my trainer, Casey, that I seemed to be hitting a wall in my workouts. He, in typical fashion, said "work harder." No shit Sherlock!
Then he suggested that I get a heart rate monitor so that I could see how long I was in the zone and how hard I was working.
Great idea....I immediately went home and started shopping and came up with the "Polar FT-4"
This is a cool little unit!! First of all, it's pretty pink... and it does everything but sing to me. (I'm sure it does that too if I could figure out how to run all the features on it!"
Anywho...tonight at the gym I strapped this baby on for the third time and commenced to working out.
Casey and I had already decided determined that my heartrate zone should be between 128 (min) -148 (max). I asked what happened if I went in to the 150's and Casey says, "go for it, just don't die on my watch." Gotta love that guy! LOL
So...back to my story.
Tonight I was definitely looking to step things up a notch. And I did just that!
Duration: 1:15:54
Calories: 514
In Zone: 49:11
Average HR: 138
Maximum HR: 156
Keep in mind that this was not all cardio....I was lifting 3 sets of 12-15 reps on legs and arms.
Not bad for a 49 yr old yoga instructor!
