Hi Jeanette & Rhea & Natalie!
That is so cool what you posted Jeanette -- I, too, look forward to getting onto the Cathe site every night and seeing how you both did and chatting -- I just love it, too. And thanks for mentioning it, Jeanette.
Looks like both you and Rhea are having fun. That's interesting, Rhea, about your aerobic capacity and your heart rate dropping on circuit workouts -- because I've never monitored my heart rate, I've never really checked. Although I don't have a monitor, I think it might be easy to check. Does this happen even on workouts like Bootcamp?
I've never had the problem of getting the heartrate up -- sometimes, I have the opposite problem -- so I've just never checked. I tend to judge the workouts by how much I sweat...:+
It's true, Jeanette, wouldn't you like all your loved ones to find the wonderful world of exercise -- and to at least try Cathe? But you're right -- everyone has their own thing -- and maybe some other form of exercise would be just the right thing for your sisters.
That's really interesting about Brenda being on that spinerval -- was it sort of like "old home week" seeing her there? Actually, my heart rate gets up to around that range (a little lower) pretty easily -- as I mentioned above. I tend to workout in the higher end of my heartrate zone almost continually. As I've gotten more in shape, that range lowers a bit and I have to increase the exercise load to get it back up. Long ago -- or maybe not all that long ago -- when I realized I needed to start exercising (I was in my early thirties), I went to my first aerobics class and my heart rate was up there over 200... Like I said, though, as I got more and more in shape, that range falls pretty quickly...thank goodness.
Interesting how different we all are, isn't it?
Rhea, that's exciting about doing all that cardio -- cardio is almost always my favorite -- and you'll know when to add in the weights again -- had to laugh at what you said about the push-ups.
Oh, Jeanette, I'm like that with my Cathe's too. It's a real act of love that I gave my TimeSaver DVD to my daughter.;-)
Well, here I am going on and on.
Anyway, tomorrow is High Step Advanced. Haven't done this one in a while so it should be interesting.
Today was a 40 minute steady state run, then supposed to do abs and then stretch. I did the run -- it was actually a walk/run -- and the stretch -- didn't do the abs.x( But it felt good to get out there -- it was sprinkling just a little, which made it kind of fun.
A three day weekend! Wow! Have fun and happy workouts everyone.:7
