It's quite alright with her, I'm sure. She's always trying to get me to show off.

In fact the same whatever your goal, if you're more used to weights than CV get a proper assessment (or look online!) and use a machine that has BPM (beats per minute) monitor....snip

Uhuh

Use the following to find your optimum working heart rate range...

Beginner or low fitness level . . .50% - 60%
Average fitness level . . . . . . . . 60% - 70%
High fitness level . . . . . . . . . . . 75% - 85%

220 minus your age = Maximum Heart Rate
Max Heart Rate minus Resting. Heart Rate multiplied by Intensity plus Rest. Heart Rate = Training Heart Rate

Example...

Person *X* Minimum Training Heart Rate:
220 - 33 (Age) = 187
187 - 75 (Rest. HR) = 112
112 x .50 (Min. Intensity) + 75 (Rest. HR) = 131 Beats/Minute

Person *X* Maximum Training Heart Rate:
220 - 33 (Age) = 187
187 - 75 (Rest. HR) = 112
112 x .60 (Max. Intensity) + 75 (Rest. HR) = 142 Beats/Minute

So, Person X should train above 131 beats per minute and below 142 to achieve optimum results. [/fitness geek]

I bought the NIKE Imara heart rate monitor watch and it beeps at me when I am not in my *zone*.

Anyways, finally, I am back to being able to workout after being sick.

Tonite I just did 45 mins on the treadmill.

5 mins max incline @ 5kms/hr (speed)

20 mins jogging @ *8kms/hr (*this is my coasting/resting speed)

10 mins of 1 minute sprints, 1 minute resting speed

5 mins jogging @ 8kms

5 mins walking 5.5kms/hr ....whilst I wheezed my head off - friggen asthma.

the free weights beckon - mainly because I know them. The machines seem to be a little intimidating. that and the workout is better on the free-weights (as I understand), because rather than targeting specific muscles on the machines, free weights cause other muscles around them to work because you're controlling the weights and the way they work and move

FYI:

1 Kilometer per Hour = 0.621371192237334 Miles per Hour

5 kph = 3.1 mph
8 kmh = 5 mph

I have to say that from the picture i remember of you, perrywinkle.(grant)..I'm thinking of you as rather thin and wiry. And you say that machines don't have enough weight available? Am i mis-remembering you, or are you like spiderman or something?

I've put on some weight since the picture you're thinking of. I'm still fairly thin and lean, but my upper-body strength has caught up to my lower-body strength.

I cap out leg machines and press machines across the board. Some of the other machines, like bicep curl and lat pulldowns, still have some room for me to grow.

My next goal is to build more of a V shape... That means I'm going to focus more on my back and cut some of the non-lean weight I've put on. Right now I'm a little too much like parallel lines.

Whoa, wtf? I was just wondering the other day what happened to grant. Last I remembered,he had gotten a new girlfriend, then dissappeared. He just changed his handle?

Damn you people. Knock it off!!

Sundae · 10-31-2007, 06:41 PM

You know if you're trying to put on mass there are also specific rules, right? Especially about eating habits before and after working out. Sorry if I'm preaching to the converted here.

Perry Winkle · 10-31-2007, 06:49 PM

Yup. Which is how I put on (mostly) lean weight.

Don't worry about me. I'm don't have professional level training and nutrition knowledge, but with Google I'm close enough for my purposes.
