I had done this routine once before, just to try it out after my first round. I had forgotten what it was like. It's basically a combo of Yoga, Kenpo and Plyometrics. I like it, although I am not sure it is as gratifying a workout as all of those individually. It's definitely more enjoyable than doing the 1 1/2 hour of Yoga.
I wasn't able to keep up with posting, so I apologize. The Rangers were in the playoffs and I basically ignored the blog for a while. I know I've promised to be regular before, but I mean it this time. Honest. I'll never leave you again, baby, now order the pizza! ;-)
As for my calorie burning, I think my heart rate monitor is okay. One thing is that my doctor described me as a furnace and my rating was +26% (Fast) and I burn 2304 calories a day doing nothing but sitting on the couch. My V02 was measured at 334 ml/min. Not sure what all these numbers mean, but I think the spike in my calories was due to several things I didn't elaborate on:
1. I took a lot of breaks, in fact by the time I was done, it was about 1 and 1/2 hours. Of course my heart rate was still going during this time, so that added to the inflated calorie count.
2. My heart rate was really high. Higher than it's ever been. Not sure why, but maybe because I had not done any strenuous routines in a while.
3. My Heart rate monitor may have set me at a lower target range because of my inactivity. I was over the target zone for the entire workout, which I think increases the calorie counting. I think Dallas is much more informed about these things, especially how to maximize the monitor. I pretty much just push the button and start, letting the Polar "OwnZone" do it's thing.
Keep Bringing It!
