Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Your workout sounds like fun . I love the variety you do.If you truly think your cardiovascular endurance is lacking, you could always perform a test on yourself. I do the 3-minute step-up test on clients. You go up and down on the step for 3 minutes. Testing your heart rate at the 1-minute mark. However, you wouldn't have much to compare it to, but if you wanted to experiment you could test and re-test yourself anyway. Darcy Hi, Today was Step Blast/Step, Jump & Pump mish mosh doing SB Challenge and SJP hi/lo. We could alternate the challenge with the hi/lo if we wanted to. I decided to really mish mosh it up lol so I did mine a little bit different. Here's how it went: (btw, I have a programmable DVD player so this was easy for me) SJP- warm up SB- finished combo # 1 SJP- hi/lo # 1 SB- finished combo # 2 SJP- hi/lo # 2 SB- finished combo # 3 SJP hi/lo # 3 SB- The Challenge SJP- hi/lo # 4 SB- cool down SJP- abs, planks, stretch total time- 50 m calories burned- 430 I did the finished combo's because I'm so familiar with the workout. Plus, I hate all the building up of the combo's. My favorite part is putting it all together and this workout flows nicely. I actually didn't think it would be that hard by just doing the finished combo's, but I was huffing and puffing after each of those hi/lo's and then I jumped right into the combo's with no rests. I'm kind of feeling like I'm lacking in the cardio department lately though, maybe not... but I seem to really work hard with every cardio workout I do. Rainy day here yet again.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I should have said " reading " your heart rate at the 1-minute mark..not testing. Also, I notice that the link doesn't say anything in swtiching your lead foot. That's recommended too. Switching at the halfway point.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thanks for posting this, it is great! I did it a while back and might even have my data somewhere, will be interesting to do it again which I will sometimes this weekend probably.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Thanks Darcy! I'm going to try that out. I'm wondering if I could use my HRM. Maybe not the numbers, but there's a little heart that flashes and I'm thinking that's my heart beat. I'll see for sure. Or do you think it would be better for me to just use my finger at my neck? ~~Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 will be interesting to do it again which I will sometimes this weekend probably. Yes, if this works for me I will use it periodically to test myself. What a great way to find out if you're staying on the right track. I just hope I can get every heart beat. Before getting a HRM I use to try and check my pulse after a workout and I know I didn't hear all the beats. ~~Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I can do the neck artery count but lots of times wondered if I was getting all the beats. I figure since you're looking at a range, if I missed a couple of beats I'll probably still end up pretty accurate.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Why not use your heart rate?? That is what I use when testing...Darcy Thanks Darcy! I'm going to try that out.
