my number is 171……………….that is my max heart rate…………….220 minus my age 49 equals……171………….and when I do cardio I should work at least 65 percent and not more than 85 precent of my max……………for me 111 - 123 is a low intesity workout………..known as the fat burning zone………….124 - 146 is my high intensity workout………….known as cardiovasular………….in this zone I am increasing my heart fitness……………so with this knowledge you can use any cardio machine and measure what you are doing…….

today was one of those days……………..I only had 4 hours of sleep………..for a good reason…………so that helps…………..I have the day off from work………….so none of this matter………..got out of bed at 0900……………..and surf the web………just dogged tired……….even to lazy to get a cup of coffee……………headed out to the gym about 1230………..not sure what I was going to do once I got there…………..I exercise 7 days a week…………..and I am flexible……….with what I do when I get there……….today I was tired………….so on the way thinking……………okay light weights………….light and short cardio…………….

one I first started lifting…………it was light…………..after a few sets…………I felt pretty warmed up and wound having a strong work out………….that was an hour long………my tiredness feeling…………..was leaving my body and mind……………I started my cardio routine…………..my first heart rating was 137……………this is a good one it means I’m working hard…………..its a good idea to do weight training………..it raises your heart rate………….and revs up you metobolism………….and the added muscle helps burn fat all day……………..once you hop off a cardio machine………….the revving is over……..

the cardio was really revving me up……………I guess because I wasnt rushing anywhere and didnt really have anything pressing……………I decided…………lets do an hour……………the training felt great…………….one of my favorite quotes “Freedom just another word for nothing else to lose”…………….thats the way I felt about my cardio…………had nothing pressing on my mind…………….and I could put my heart and soul into this baby…………I dindnt have to preserve any energy…………just dont need none for the rest of the day………….I was on the elipitcal machine……………and doing interval training………..the highest level I made up to number 17………….my legs were screaming…………..my heart rate hit 170 at its highest point………..

when I left the gym……………I was physically drained………….it felt great………….instead of celebrating………….by getting me a carvel sundae……………I went right next door…………to Steve and Barrys and bought some more new clothes that fit me………
