Morning Everyone -
This morning my rotation called for a Power Walk and since I can't do that at 4:00 am, I did TurboJam CardioParty 2 followed by 200 walking lunges and TurboJam Abs. I kept my heartrate up very high during the cardio (see reason below).
While glancing thru that Jillian Michaels book, I noticed in the section on cardio, she states you need to get your heartrate up to 85%. I don't know if she meant keep it there, but when I did that on my heartrate monitor, it was very hard for me to keep it up that high constantly. I kept falling to 80-83% and during my blast segment, I almost had an asthma attack my heartrate went up so high. I wonder if she means to keep it that high?
Terri - I saw your post about the Jillian Michaels DVD and being interested in them. Just thought I'd mention.....when I said Jillian had an awesome body and it makes me want the workouts even more....it's not that I think I'm going to look like her from doing her workouts (I know better), but I meant she must really know her stuff if she looks like that! Anyway, she's a black belt also, so I think her Cardio Kickbox DVD should be good....especially if she thinks you need to keep your heartrate at 85%!! LOL
Have great workouts everyone. I'm off to do my Kundalini yoga routine and then my Lush soak with epsoms salts also and maybe I'll read my new Oxygen magazine.

I agree Jillian looks awesome and that she must know her stuff. That is why I am interested in her dvd's too. I just want to make sure I buy them for the RIGHT reason for me. Thanks for the interesting detail from her book. I may still get that book. Anything else good in it yet?
