Thursdays

I had a really good day and ran a really cool experiment with a new toy ...... a heart rate monitor!!! I wore it during my yoga and during my cardio to see what my body was doing. Now it WILL be a little different than what is actually going on because calories is NOT just based on heart rate but oxygen and lung capacity as well as what is going on chemically (in the heat). I don't trust the number of calories to be right but wanted an idea of heart rate and differences between the two. My heart rate in my sauna doing the yoga was on average about 110 with going up to 130 140 and a few times even in the 150's though did get below 100 on a few occasions as well. My heart rate during my cardio was high 130's to high 150's for one hour. It was pretty cool to see what my heart was doing in class!!!
I had a really good one too!! The humidifier was back up and running which was really nice and I just had an awesome class.
After class and breakfast we headed to the gym and play care where I did my cardio. I did one hour of mod intensity on the elliptical. Had a really good day and was just in the zen.... much calmer and better with one moment of mach 10 AHHHHHHHH (not bad lol)
