Cardio

( See all Cardio Exercises entries here)

I have done a new VO2 measurement yesterday and my VO2 has jumped from 34 to 38. I have also measured my resting heart rate and I’m sitting at 54 bpm. That is pretty good considering that it was in the low 70s when I have started. Sicne I have dropped 20 beats off my resting heart rate it’s only normal to see my exercise heart rate dropping too. And since my VO2 has gone up I’m more efficient in utilizing oxygen so I need less heart betas to get he same amount of oxygen in and to burn the same amount of calories. This shows in my exercises now as my heart rate only averaged 115 tonight yet I still burned 497 calories in an hour. Before I needed 119 bmp average heart rate and I had weighed a good 14 lbs more to burn the same amount of calories.
