Wednesday - Move to Lose/Maintain Rpts

Gym this a.m. Upper body weight machines. 58 minutes treadmill workout - heart rate training - today was the first time I did the speed training. Basically the treadmill is set at 2% incline. I don't vary that. They I have to vary my heart rate for various periods of time usually 1-3 minutes at a time to a couple of different ranges. To do that, you vary speed. Sort of trial and error. I ended up doing 3.15 miles in the 58 minutes due to the varying of paces from 2.0 mph to 4.2 mph. One problem was either my heart rate monitor. Didn't seem to be reading correctly some times. The treadmill reads the signal but I think it was getting confused between my signal and Rich's monitor. We'll have to work out at different ends of the line of treadmills, me thinks from now on so they don't interfere with each other. Kathy

Looks like a good workout Kathy.
