The NSV that almost gave me a heart attack!!

kori333

I go to Zumba twice a week at my local church. Been doing this since February though I miss here and there. Today both of our usual instructors were gone so someone who's there every week stepped up to teach. A newer song from our playlist came on that she didn't know well enough to lead. It's my favorite one and I may have been practicing it at home. :blushing: Before I knew it I was volunteering to lead that song just because I didn't want them to skip it. I am a solid BACK ROW kind of person so I don't know what I was thinking! I started leading when about 5 seconds in to it I realized my nerves on top of an already high heart rate from dancing had my heart beating so fast I thought I was going to pass out!:laugh: I made it though the song somehow and ran back to my comfort spot in life, the back row! I checked my HRM and my max target is 162 while I was actually at 182! It took the rest of class to get it to slow down to under 170!

I'm not at all scared of public speaking but I guess public dancing is a different story. :blushing: Still I'm proud of myself for doing it! Back in February when I started going I didn't know if I'd even come back a second day since I was so horrible at it, yet today I actually led a song!

Depends on your weight and intensity of your workout, I do Zumba myself and got a max HR of 188 for todays workout. So don't fret too much

If that's your resting heart rate then no! That is not normal. Resting heart rate should be between 60 and 100 really. If that's your heart rate when you're working out then it's high yeah but not the end of the world. Maybe see a dr and get it checked out.

Awesome! Great work - maybe one day you will be teaching the class all the way through!

It depends on your age I think. I'm 30 and around 162 is the Max for my workout target zone according to my HRM. Not that my heart can't go faster, that's just my range to try to stay in.

Your max heart rate is estimated by 220 minus your age for guys and 226 minus your age for women.
