A tale of two heartrates…

As I’ve mentioned, I’m busy doing the 20/20 Lifestyles program at the ProClub… it’s an intense diet and exercise program. I’m down to 241, from about 265 when I started. However, what’s really interesting so far is measuring some change. For example, here are two cycling rides… one was about a year ago (June) and the other way Sunday.

My 80% - 90% heart rate is 151 - 170 BPM. That’s high effort / aerobic. Past 170 is anarobic… meaning it’s not the greatest as far as improving my cardiovascular system. Heavy exertion.

Notice the spiky red lines above 160… those aren’t so good. Notice they get up to 180… that’s really not so good. Compare with Sunday, where there are some spikes to 160, but nothing too bad, and generally below 140. That’s good.

Amazing how well this is working… now to keep things up!
