I didn't realize how important it is to maintain your goal heart rate when working out. I had been going too fast on the machines, making my heart rate too high and I was burning sugar instead of fat. After the workout with this instructor, I feel energized instead of drained. I am glad I met with him... I am anxious to see if I get any results in the program. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

I don't have time to go to a gym, but I plan to as soon as I save some money have a personal trainer come to the house and sort of 'tweak' my workout routine to make sure I'm doing everything effectively. -------------------- *~Karen~* wife to hubby, Ryan Douglas mommy to Kylie (9) and Megan (6.5) and furbabies Gavin, Buster, Sox, and Hailey

The machines at our gym have heart rate monitors on them and now that I know what range to keep it in, my workouts have been better. I was overdoing it before too and I'd end up not going back because I felt so bad. I never got the exercise high until I was doing it right either. I just got exercise sick. LOL -------------------- Cary

Exactly... well said. I would even get headaches sometimes after working out. I didn't understand why people "enjoyed" working out. Now, I think my work outs will go so much better.

If anyone else is like me and has never spoken to an trainer/instructor then I highly recommend it!
