Exante Exercisers

[Mere]

Hi Marge I agree it would be easier to weigh myself with and without hoop but I do not want to weigh myself until Wednesday.
Yes I do have a heart rate monitor it is great because I like to keep track of the calories I burn off.

ED you are really getting into exercise now. It can become very addictive.

Hi Marge
My heart rate monitor is a Polar it was quite expensive at about £70 from Amazon. My friend got one from Argos for £29.99 but it is rubbish she can't get it to work properly. All the trainers at the gym have had a look at it but no-one can work it. Careful what you buy because they don't all show a calorie count and if you are watching your weight you need that facility. Let me know if you decide to get one. x

Hi Folks
Gym this morning. Boiler had gone on fire last night so there was no heating. Zumba class went ahead with everyone in their coats.
At the end of an hour we had shed the outer wear and were all sweating!!! Strange sensation to have arms cold but to be sweating.
Came home and did 30 mins Zumba on the wii not such good fun.

Hi
At the gym this morning I did 30 mins powerplate then 60mins powerhoop. My heart rate monitor gave up before I did so no idea how many calories I burned off. It felt like at least 2000!!!

30 day shred is an exercise dvd by Jillian Micheals from the USA version of the biggest loser

 

[notsoskinnymarge]

I did level two of thw shred
Then I went to a functionsl circuit class at the gym for about 45 ish mins
Feeling good today

 

[Mere]

Well done Marge I am not very good at circuit training.
When I did the powerhoop today I was much better and managed to keep it up on my bad side for about 5 mins. Even managed to catch and throw a ball while still hooping!
When I was on the powerplate I was lifting a weight above my head with both hands and I was suddenly seeing double and had to shout to the trainer to switch the plate off.
It was a frightening experience and wonder if it has to do with this diet Won't try that again.

[notsoskinnymarge]

I dont like the power plates. I can't help thinking what all that shaking does to your inners not to mention your brain

 

[Mere]

Having had the experience of seeing double I am not sure of them myself now. I liked it before because for every exercise you do on the powerplate is the equivalent of 10 on the weights machines and as I don't really like doing weights this seemed like a good choice.
Think I may go back to lifting weights.
