back rubs

Last night me and my roomate were watching tv and gave each other back rubs. I was curious to see what my heart rate would be after I had given a 20 minute back rub. It started out at 68 and worked it's way to around 95-100. I didn't think it'd get that high, but we do give pretty intense massages!

Taebo

Yesterday I did a taebo workout tape with my heart rate monitor on. Every five minutes I looked to see how high or low my heart rate was. The lowest I saw it at was 90 and the highest was 155. Throughout the workout I'd guess my average was around 135-140. It was a good workout!

Week of Feb 4-10

Yesterday I ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes at a rate between 7 and 7.5 mph. My heart rate was between 130-150.

Week of Feb. 4-10

During class this week, we had to do a variety of warm-up activities. I kept track of my heart rate throughout each one, and found my highest heart rate was while we were playing tag, and I was the one chasing everyone. My heart rate was up to 205! My lowest heart rate I found was when we were doing the ball handling drills, it was 87.

Week of Jan28-Feb3

This week I also did the Astraud-Rhyming Cycle Ergometer Test. I had a high heart rate of 157 and my lowest was 142. There my predicted VO2 max was as low as 33.89! I think this test wasn't quite as accurate as the other one.

Week of Jan.28-Feb3

I did the Bruce Treadmill Protocol and had my highest heart rate at 179. When I figured out my predicted VO2 max, it was 53.04.
