Hi!
I am very disgusted at the moment with my endurance to do Cathe's step/cardio. I love doing it, but I just can't get very far into any tape without my HR going sky high! We're talking over my max. Tonight while doing C & W, it was maxing out during the warmup!!! I'm just really kind of bummed about it.
I have used the simple formula to calculate it 220-age (38) - 182 max. My HR consistently goes near max and many time over. I can always tell when it's over b/c I start getting the pains in my side and then I slow way down.
Do any of you have suggestions? I so want to build up to where I can do tapes without having to just stop & let it go back down some, but the minute I'm back to tapes, it's right back up there.
I know this is hindering my weight loss progress too. I have also been told maybe my heart beats faster than norm.. My resting HR is around 73 or so. This is when I'm sitting totally relaxed.
It's making me more mad than anything! I have no health problems and am about 25# over my goal weight for my height. I am new to Cathe since the beginning of January, and had not worked out for over a year. One thing I noticed though, was even before when I did workout, I think my HR always did the same thing. I just didn't know b/c I didn't have a monitor.
Any help? suggestions? I have moved my step back to 4",(started at 4, then moved to 6") I really don't like it on 4". I think my legs probably get a better workout at 6".
I decided tonight that I will start a journal of how long it stays in the target range, per tape - maybe I can see progress in the endurance if I have it logged. I don't know, but it's my best thought.
Thanks!!
