Hi alliej,

I found this on WebMD:

When you exercise, your body speeds up, and so does your heart as it works to meet your increased energy needs. But how much speeding-up of your heart is safe when you exercise? You need the answer to this question in order to maximize your exercise benefits while not overworking your heart.

Your target heart rate isn't one rate but a range of rates (beats per minute, or bpm), expressed as percentages of your maximum heart rate, that are safe for you to reach during exercise. For most healthy people, the American Heart Association recommends an exercise target heart rate ranging from 50% to 75% of your maximum heart rate, which is normally calculated as the number 220 minus your age.

I don't check my heart rate, but try and listen to my body. When I started my chest became very heavy and I could barely catch my breath. I took a lot more breaks back then!

Just finished Plyo Cardio Circuit. Boy it's never easy to get through it. Those Level 1 drills get me every time. But I'm done now so I can look forward to tomorrow!

Great job everyone!!!

I was sick for a few days so I'm a little behind on the Insanity calendar, but I did complete the 2nd Fit test and almost doubled my results!! Personally I don't "see" a difference just yet..but I sure do feel it. ( I'm able to keep up a lot longer without needing so much rest!) The only thing I'm worried about is my knee. My left knee has been hurting and I'm hoping I don't do anything to make it worse.

A lot of people don't see any significant changes until the Max Phase. So keep digging deep and it will happen.

Thanks for the motivation! I have been taking a couple days off because of my knee but I'm still pushing and next week is finally my recovery week. Today is Pure Cardio and I actually like to mix it up and do Pure Cardio with AB Ripper X instead of the Cardio abs. Can't wait for the Max phase.. ( I say that now..lol)

I started insanity last week also. I'm really out of shape but I try and work through. I've had the insanity program since it came out but it was just collecting dust. I've finally gotten the courage to give it a go.
