Does anybody else's pulse rate go up when attempting......

[Calico]

pikes? I can manage to do the knee thing but not a true pike. But even so it is like a cardio workout for me, my pulse is racing just attempting the move. Am I strange? Does anybody else experience this? Usually during the ab section of other tapes I don't notice this, but I did on the ab section of KPC. Unless it has to do with the fact that I am not used to the stability ball yet and fight to keep it from rolling.

Just curious though.

Thanks

Oh yes, my pulse rate goes up but not as much as when I'm doing cardio. I think it has something to do with my head being in a lower position than most of my body. Also with how much harder my core has to work to bring and hold my body up. I sweat more, too, when I'm doing pikes than the other ab sections of Cathe's workouts.

Yes, I experience this too. I just said to hubby the other day how surprised I am on how hard my heart is beating after roll-ins and pikes. I look at is as a GOOD thing! :7

I don't really know if my pulse rate goes up, but I suppose it does a little because doing those pikes is still quite a challenge for me!! No, I don't think you're strange at all! I think anything which challenges us is bound to make our pulse rate go up a little, at least.
