I can get through the basic step portions fairly easily now. I sweat and my heart rate is in the target range the whole time, but I have days when I can go through a 30 min cardio routine 2x in a day and a 40 min walk. Should I be thinking about adding risers under my step? Or, am I just anxious to be in shape? I have noticed that my resting heart rate has dropped 4 bpm since I started (ok, Im a freak, I wear my heart rate monitor almost all the time) a few weeks ago, and during cool down and stretching, my heart rate is dropping back to normal much quicker than it used to. Are these good signs? I havent lost any weight, but I figured out my problem there. I drank 3 gallons of whole milk last week, hmm can you say "alot of fat"? So whatdaya think? Should I "step it up"? (sorry for the bad pun) Also, how can I motivate myself to do the muscle building portions? I can tell you I have never ever ever in my life done one solitary correct push up, I am sooo wimpy. I am going for the beginner routines, but I havent been able to get all of the videos yet. I honestly could just work my abs and do cardio every day and be happy, but will I slim down as quick as if I trade some of my cardio for weights?
