Yesterday I uped the speed on the treadmill as we sprinted . My trainer was splitting the class up 1/2 to sprint on spin bikes 1/2 to sprint on treadmill the athletic people on treadmills me athletic wth had a huge smile inside as I was in the athletic group.

To bad my myzone hrm monitor doesn't like me . My trainer says my boobs get in the way so I out it on my back n I guess I have no heartbeat lol it doesn't record the whole class

Any suggestions what I'm doing wrong ? I wet the strap before I put it on.

How old is the HRM strap are you using? I use garmin and it started wizzing out after about a year (kinda common for this one from what I read online). Does it work correctly ever?...at rest? Maybe the battery is weak in the sensor.

Wetting the strap as you do helps. They also make a gel specifically for HRM's.

Regardless....Kuddos to you on being in the "athletic" group!

I (hopefully) attached a pics, showing the difference I was seeing with the old vs new HR strap. The top pic is with the new and the bottom one is with the old soft strap. The bottom pic is obviously not reading right....I think they just wear out sometimes.

5 mile run, transition, and a couple quick miles on the bike....just to practice for Mondays Biathlon.

Who knew it'd be so difficult to change shoe's from running to cycling while dripping wet.....lol. Hope everyone has a great day!

Power hour of boxing today. Good lord. He said it was going to make us lose 2lbs in class. I believe he tried very hard to accomplish that goal!

I just bought my myzone last month but it seems very quirky

Had to have one if the trainers at the gym repeat this line" you are fit you can do that " hellooo are you talking to me ??? I still see myself as struggling or as the gym newbie but I guess not a year later I'm fit wth I still can't wrap my head around it . Spent a 1/2 he after this leg workout trying to figure out my workout schedule for the holiday weekend n following week/weekend bc I can't do my normal routine n I'm getting nervous about missing a work out.

Last year at this time I was probably obsessing over what I'm making for a BBQ whose BBQ I'm going to n what to eat now it's all about the workout. Kid you not me n two people from the gym confirm n plan our workouts together n I wouldn't change it for the world .

9.21 miles in 49 minutes on the elliptical this morning! Only 5 more pounds till I start light running on pavement. I'm thinking I'll just add a day a week of pavement to my two days of elliptical each week. I will continue my two days a week of interval training on the Arc Trainer.

Everyone is doing AWESOME...I was at the pool again this morning and did more walking and a few more exercises in the pool. Each morning I just wish I could stay there...it feels so good and refreshing and walk and exercise without any pain...very nice!!! Wish you ALL a wonderful weekend and please remember those that gave the Ultimate Sacrifice for this Country on Monday and all those that have and are serving this Nation to keep us safe!!!

Been sick all week. I went for a walk this am with my son. (we both are on the sickish side still) and we both got done about 40 mins in, we have to walk back to the house and after 45 mins, we were both faint and finished! Hopefully will be able to do more further into the weekend! Have a great Memorial Day weekend.
