Weekly: exercise in my target heart rate zone (HRtarget) 4x

Was able to keep my HR under 70% of HRR, except on the few hills. Further details here: http://caylynn.blogspot.com/2006/09/5-easy-miles-with-hubby.html 5 years ago

I thought having it as a goal would help motivate me, but it’s doing the opposite – every time I log in, I see my failure. I don’t see this happening until I can get to the doctor to get my thyroid checked. 5 years ago

All my runs this week have gone well – recovery runs, speedwork, and my long run (which was 10 miles today with hubby).

My schedule is so jammed packed with school, son, work and boyfriend that I need some ideas as to how to fit daily exercise in. Right now, I do it when I find the time – but I really want to work in a routine. Anyone else have to deal with this issue?

What would ya’all recommend? 5 years ago

The Wellbutrin I’m on is making it a super challenge to exercise in my target heartrate zone. I did 45 min. on the treadmill today and where my heartrate would be in the zone normally without the meds, I didn’t even hit 100 bpm. I was walking on the treadmill and it said at one point 10 min. into that it was at 66 bpm. No, my heartrate monitor is not defective.

I’ve worked out with weights 2 days this week and 1 day so far in cardio. I hope to go again tomorrow morning before church, that will meet my cardio for this week. 5 years ago

I am continuing on the marathon/half-marathon training, but I’m only finding the time to run twice a week – a shorter run on Wednesdays and a longer run on Sundays. I really need to add two or three more running days to my week, but I’m having a lot of trouble finding the time. Perhaps once school starts I’ll be able to have a more regular schedule. 5 years ago

20 Min session on the bike
Heart rate between 140 and 171 BPM – used the bikes built in unit and not my own HRM.

First Body for Life cardio workout – hard work but short and kept my interest. THe final 60 seconds at 300+ watts on the bike was a killer! 5 years ago

22 miles, road, fairly windy.

1 hour 45 mins
Avg BPM: 154 5 years ago

Saturday – 43 miles
Monday – 15 Miles
Wed – Weight Training
Thursday – 9.3 Miles, Av BPM = 143 Max = 179

Thats 4 times in 7 days, so I am back on track. 5 years ago

My psychiatrist put me on Wellbutrin and I started taking 150 mg of it last Wednesday (a week ago). Emotionally I feel a bit worse. She read the list of side effects to me, but they so overwhelmed me that I don’t remember what they were. My sleep has been more disturbed with more nightmares.

My heartrate has really dropped. My normal resting heartrate is in the low to mid-50s. Now it’s dropped to the high 30s/low 40s. I really can’t feel it in my body, but I wonder if that’s okay or not.

The past 2 workouts we’ve noticed that I’m working out really hard, but we can’t get my heartrate up. Today Josh had me sprinting for 2 minutes on a 15% incline on the treadmill. I’ve never done that before and it was really hard. My heartrate got as high as 122 bpm. That should’ve been in the 150-160 range.

My AT = 136 bpm and there is no way I can do my exercise that high because I was running really hard at the 122 bpm and there is no way to sustain a 136 bpm right now.

Tyna said to give it a couple more weeks to see how things with my body and the medication go. She does not want me redoing the VO2 Max test. She says to go by more how I feel rather than what my watch is saying about my heartrate.

I haven’t been doing my cardio for the past 1.5 weeks but will get back to it tomorrow or Saturday hopefully. I don’t want to lose what I’ve been doing and have to work back up again.

Josh reminded me about consistency in my eating and cardio. 5 years ago

Thanks to NYCinephile for the invite.

Just calculated what my target heart rate zone should be:
60% – 118
85% – 167

Next step, take my radial pulse next time I am sweating it up. 5 years ago

Walking on Treadmill

Max HR = 107 bpm
Avg HR = 94 bpm

I don’t have a heart rate monitor yet, so I follow the ol’ radial pulse method for now.

exercice time: 31 minutes
Maximum heart rate: 156 bmp
Average heart rate: ?

I took my daughter and her friend swimming today, we stayed in the pool for about 2 hours and I know I got a good work out because my heart rate was at my target rate. Walk later tonight. :) Oh I bought some jogging shorts…so hee heee. 5 years ago

Well I found my target hear rate…I think. :) And I plan on going swiming tomorrow and walking later in the day. So off to a good start. :) 5 years ago

Sunday was a 10 mile walk in the lake district – around 3500ft of climbs and the traverse of striding edge which really gets the heart going (see piccy)

Tuesday I did weights, but that keeps my heart rate elevated as I keep the rest times down. 5 years ago
