Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Doug, What you consider a set back might actually work in your favor... Often times you heart rate is an indicator of your metabolism, right? We're encouraged to have that hit of caffeine to drive up the heart rate (and theoretically the metabolism, too) during cardio. Well... If you can be up at a heart rate of 130 by walking, you may be able to burn some serious fat calories by taking leisurely strolls. If the ugly sweating doesn't come with the elevated heart rate, it may not have quite the same effect, but, take it slow and easy anyway. I didn't gain all my excess weight over a one year period of time, mine took a long, long time. I'm gambling that yours did too. Don't be feeling disappointed at these minor speed bumps. If you take more than a year or two to get where you want to be, does it really matter? You'll have the rest of your life to enjoy your new self. Learn to enjoy the journey, including all the obstacles that see to come from nowhere. Doug Albert wrote: > > Brett, It has to do with the diabedes meds.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Brett, I think cardio will cause a higher heart rate and blood pressure, but then will end up lowering over the course of the exercises. Resistance causes spiky results, driving up both heart rate and blood pressure during the stress. My guess is, starting with a heart rate of 130, when the normal person might be starting at 60 to 70, will place a higher risk of stress on the heart. Just my thoughts, but I'm now curious too.
