iiiiiii....

Went to the gymmmmmmmmmmmm today!!...I've only had my membership since last August and never used it until today!!!!!...My daughter and I went to the all women's Goodlife Fitness!.. We used the different machines for about 1.5 hrs. She was puttin out a good sweat. We were doing the same levels and her heart rate was always higher ..Mine 120 ish and hers 160ish (she's 19)..(I'm 40).Made me happy to see her enjoy herself. She's lost 20 pounds and is at goal in another few pounds and she will be a lifer at Weigh****chers!

But, I need to break my fear down and go to the co-ed one that's pretty well in my back yard!!!...Going again tomorrow!!!!

Do you know about heart rates? Mine while working out on eliptical is between 135-145, sometimes up to 150. I do the interval training and it only gets real high on the steep climbs. I feel good and not breathing too heavy and not too stressed so I assume I am not working heart too hard.

I think I was pressing the Fat Burner button same as her. I felt good. Like you described. I did get it up to 145, But, I had to run!

I need a lesson!

145 is my heart rate when I go to the gym, definitely where I want it. at curves I had to stay on the stepping machine two our three times to get it up there and wasnt happy with the machines there. I loved goodlife but have to wait to get some cash and I do stay in the female room it is where I feel comfortable right now. I was able to use the eliptical there a few times until my knee kept buckling so had to avoid it after that. Getting lots of extra walking in now with the bus strike here.

I am interested in knowing where the heart rate should be when I get near goal.

 Donna, are you taking any beta blockers? Most of the generic beta blockers end with "lol". These medications lower heart rate.
