so I'll try to contain myself now...

So I know I'm getting a little bit repetitious with all the fitness updates etc... I'm trying to not bore you all with the little tedious details of my working out routines, but yesterday was awesome.

For some reason, it was so easy to get home, throw on some exercise clothes, hop on the bike and start pedaling. 27 minutes, and 4.7 miles. Up hills. Invigorating, especially with such a great temperature outside today.

I also figured out how to figure out my heart rate quickly (I plan on purchasing a heart rate monitor at some point, but they're expensive and this is something I can do for now).

My MAX heart rate: 193
My target range: 115-154 beats/min.

To calculate your heart rate: # of beats in 6 sec X 10

Maintain between 20 - 60 minutes (depending on fitness levels)

:yay: for me.

Wow Caryn, 193 is pretty high. I bet you were exhausted.

Thanks for the card, btw.

Hey mr. monk - i didn't mean to say that 193 is what I reached... 193 is the highest I should go based on my age... I think I would have keeled over DEAD if I reached that heartrate!!

SV - I totally want one of those. Does it make coffee too? (I don't drink coffee, but maybe I can train it to make me tea instead?)
