Gearing up for a nice Wed workout.

I still dont know what we are doing on Wednesday, but I am sure I am going to think of a workout. However, I can tell you that if you plan on inviting any friends, you may not want to have them come out to camp tomorrow. Wait until Monday, when we kick off month 2.
In the meantime, i wanted to touch base on HR monitors. for those of you that have made the investment, and great investment, we need to make sure you are using them as best as possible. Most of the workouts we do are high intensity which means you should be at up to 85-90% of your max, and if you dont have a pct on your watch, take 220-your age and then multiply by 85%. Lets say you have a 30 year old, this persons max is going to be much higher than a 50 yr old. So, the math would be 220-30=190 Then take 190X.85=161 beats per minute. This typically is your max, however when we do sprints and any high intensity drills, you hR will get up to about 180-190.. You are going to be ok, but dont overdo it. Dont always keep your HR this high, when you are doing your own cardio, keep your HR about 65-75% of your max. the lower pct's help with weight loss, and since we only meet 2X per week, the higher intensity workouts will shock your body, and then you are doing more of an interval traiing.
Hope this helps, and see you on Wed..
