I borrowed Jillian's book from the library and it really changed my thinking on things. The part I liked most was calories in vs calories out. How simple is this, and yet I have gone low carb, low fat, points, etc. etc. So I am trying to stick to the calories in vs calories out, because it just makes so much sense! So thanks Jillian!
Ok anyways, on to my question. Even though Jillian has not been here lately, I'm hoping someone else can help me out.
Ok, I got my heart rate monitor and I'm exercising at 85% of my max heart rate which is 220-34(age)=186x.85=158. Am I doing this right? The thing is I feel like this is too good to be true. I only have to walk at 3mph on a slight incline to be at this rate and I don't feel like I'm working out hard enough. I don't feel like I'm going to die at this rate. I'm sweating, but I'm not sweating like they do on the show. So is this right? Am I working out hard enough? I used to try and run and I always felt like I was going to give myself a heart attack. No wonder I avoided the treadmill like the plaque!
I just don't want to be wasting my time. If I'm going to work out, I want it to be worthwhile so I want to make sure I'm understanding this correctly.
Thanks!
