KrisT asked a question about how to know what her heart rate should be when working out. let me explain:
Warning: This might get wordy and boring, so if you don’t care skip down to the other, possibly less boring stuff
To figure out your target heart rate, you must figure out yourmaximum heart rate. Your maximum heart rate is the highest heart rate you can safely achieve. 220-your age is your maximum heart rate. Your Max heart rate is 100% of your working capacity. To get a good cardio workout you want to work in about 65%-80% of your maximum heart rate, this is yourtarget heart rate.
SO:
220- AGE = MAX. HEART RATE
MAX HEART RATE X .65 TO .8 = TARGET HEART RATE
And there ya go!
I went grocery shopping today at BigLots, ie. my paradise.
I found this beauty for $3.00
Yes, its dark chocolate flavored, and yes, its delicious
I got home from the gym and found a free sample in the mail of more chocolatey goodness.
Im gunna have it after dinner tonight, but I dont even have to try it to tell you its good. And only 150 calories.
I’m going camping this weekend!i didnt think it was going to happen cause i told the boy to plan it, so, of course, i just found out we are leaving on Friday. im taking the day off work, we are driving up with his bandmates, and one of them’s girlfriend and won’t be back until Sunday. No worries, ill post tomorrow and then you’ll have to hear all about it when I get back. Cause you are my captive audience. Suckers.
