Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 , thanks for sharing this info from Dr. Oz! Nice reminder. I know I often get complacent in my workouts and this is a super wake-up call! I'm thinking of you, Jen and as I see in the MSN sidebar of news that Michigan is getting hit HARD with snow! Here? I heard some thunder a bit ago and it's raining cats and dogs. Stay warm! I hope that none of you lose power! (However would you get your workouts in??)fitgrl222@... wrote: Hi, This morning I did The Firm Express Cardio and then stopped before the cool down and went straight to 4 DS HIS. HIS was really getting me for some reason. The Firm was nice and light, but then combos 1 and 2 of HIS was really keeping my heart rate up there. Anyone watch Oprah yesterday? Dr Oz was on and I found out yet something else I didn't know concerning your heart rate and how fit you are or rather how NOT fit you are. Here's what he said: Maintaining weight as the years pass is a constant struggle, says 45-year-old . "Every year, I just seem to see the scale going up and up with those years adding on. I'm exercising regularly. I'm eating a well-balanced diet. I feel like I should be at least maintaining. Not adding. Now I found myself with 15, 20 pounds to lose, and it just won't budge. Do you have any suggestions?" Dr. Oz thinks 's problem is that she is not pushing herself hard enough. She needs to be working out at her target heart rate, which is 140. The formula to find your ideal heart rate when exercising is 220 minus your age multiplied by 0.80. hops onto an elliptical machine for a cardiovascular workout at a level 6. Before long, she has already reached a heart rate of 140. "The fact you got there so quickly is a little bit of concern, because you shouldn't be able to get to your ideal heart rate so fast," Dr. Oz says. "You should be in better shape than that." To get in shape, Dr. Oz says needs to work out at her target heart rate for 20 minutes, three times a week. Thought you all might find that interesting. I'll be looking at how fast my heart rate gets up there next workout. Oh and I burned 455 calories today, I got the red face to prove it. lol Have a great day!! ~~Who's never won?
