Help, I can't get off the toilet!


That was the quote my brother texted me on Sunday. He volunteered to do the Leg and Back workout with me on Friday night. It was tough, but probably my least favorite of the workouts I have done yet. The tip for today is to find a partner to workout with. There is something competitive about working out with someone that pushes you farther than you would by yourself.

We actually had a day off on Saturday. It was nice to let the body heal after taking a pounding this week. Sunday we did our KENPO workout. It was boxing mixed with some martial arts. It was a good cardio workout. I have to get a heart rate monitor so I can keep myself in the target heart rate during the workout. Use the chart to find your target zone. Exercising at your target rate is important to optimize your workout. If you are too low, you are not pushing yourself hard enough. If you are too high, you will fatigue too early and you will not get the desired length of workout and you will not burn the calories you were hoping to.
