Exercise: Sep, 23
I signed up for a metabolic test on Friday. The test requires that I be "well rested, with absolutely no muscle soreness". So, I decided to forego a zone 4-5 workout today and instead am sticking with zone 3 as that doesn't impact my muscles so much. I'll probably take tomorrow off entirely, or at most do a walk.
48 minutes on elliptical trainer in interval program instead of weight loss program:
Weight: 191 (189.2)
Time: 48:04.81
In Zone: 43:04
Avg HR: 148
Peak HR: 156
Min HR: 88
Tot Cal: 855 (350)
Recovery: 46 (154-108)
OK, since I'm at most doing a walk tomorrow, I did another 48 minutes today, but this time I bumped the target up. Instead of picking zone 4 or 5, I made a manual zone that's in between the two. My real zone 4 is 154-173 and 5 is 173-192. My made up zone is 160-185. So, a little ways into 4, and most of the way through 5. That way I don't take it too easy, nor do I push too hard.
Weight: 191 (189.2)
Time: 47:55.67

Avg HR: 171
Peak HR: 182
Min HR: 82
Tot Cal: 1072 (572)
Recovery: 32 (178-146)
