I did Fire 55 EZ today... LOVE this workout and normally my heart rate doesn't remain all that high throughout the workout. Today I let my watch run for 57 minutes. Here are the results:
Time = 57 minutes
Calories Burned = 665!!!!!!!!!!! ONNN FIREEEEE!!!!!
Average Heart Rate = 170
WOW!!!!! I looked down at my watch on several occasions to see where my heart rate was at and generally it fell between 175-180. The highest it got up to was 185 during the HIIT fire drills. What an addiction!
If you don't have a heart rate monitor, I would suggest getting one! They are a great tool to have during workouts if you are counting calories.
There have been a couple of days that I have worked out with my husband. He has been doing the Insanity program. Yesterday was basically 30 minutes of stretching and yoga exercises which is funny to see such a BIG guy (Shaun T, the instructor) do these stretches. He toots his own horn a couple of times :) Pretty funny. Anyway... they are animals. I cannot keep up with the people on the video and we just do what we can because it is still pretty intense. I love the Insanity videos because it's a lot of upper body strength which I am LACKING!!! I am so not strong... I have to do the girly push-ups. One of these days I'll do push-ups like a man! HA! I've still got a long way to go.
It dawned on me today that I start back to work in like 2 weeks. I am a little nervous because I get super busy during the school year and need to make sure I am holding myself accountable for working out. I always ALWAYS use the excuse "I'm just too tired" ~ I'm hoping the challenge group will help me out with this! Motivation is KEY and I'm relying on them to keep me going! To push play... because I'll feel better in the end!
Alright... I've got grad school work to do. Thanks for reading! Have a great day!
