I have been doing Biggest Loser Boot Camp for the last few weeks...had some serious health scares and backed off (not related to exercising...) so now I am back on my game but it seems so much harder to do...so much in fact that at one point I started getting a bit dizzy so I stopped...and realized my Heart Rate was in the Danger zone according to my HRM...but I wasn't working any harder then I have in the past in fact I felt a lot like I was doing a lot less today.

the only major difference is that it has been chilly but not cold out...it is freezing out right now and the heat was on while I was working out...Why else would my heart rate spike so high?

I'm not a doc but it would seem to me the "getting dizzy" and "heartrate too high" combination might mean a blood pressure issue? Not getting enough blood through your system to keep the oxygen levels up?

Personally, I'd ask a nurse or doctor - or at the very least the local pharmacist.

I had my annual 2 weeks ago full blood work up and the whole bit my blood pressure is Excellent, cholesterol is fine. I have been monitored because of my size and exercising and this is the first time it was that high...ever..it was 192 BPM...so I just walked in place until it went down to a normal area..
I am going to the dr tomorrow so I will talk to her about it then!
