I did something really dumb today....

I was at the gym and wanted to interval train at a higher heart rate on the heart rate interactive program with my wonderful polar strap so instead of putting in my age as 48 I put 30. Yep, got my HR up into the stratosphere all right. Unfortunately the intervals were THREE FRIGGIN MINUTES LONG instead of the 30 seconds I was expecting. Of course I was too stubborn to cancel the program. I about gave myself my a heart attack. STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!

Not stupid at all! You gave yourself a challenge and DID IT! Good job! And now you know how to better judge the program and can tailor those challenges a bit more in the future. Have fun!

Oy! Sounds like something I would do Glad you are OK & way to go!!


Live with sincerity, love with passion, and dance like you mean it.

If you want to try something more intense, go a bit lower than your real age, but 30 sounds like you went too far!
