I got an Adams Trail-a-bike off of Craigslist for my son on Friday and I pulled him around town today. It was a blast and we really had a great time. The little rascal doesn’t pedal much though I have to say, I had to do most of the heavy lifting. It was a great bonding time and you look at things completely different from a bike than when you’re zooming around in a car. I’m sure we’ll do it a lot more in the future.

You might wonder why the calories are much lower than previous excercises for the same heart rate and same time duration. I have ran a fitness test with my Polar S210 heart rate monitor that calculates your theoretical VO2 max based on fluctuations in your resting heart rate. Mine came out to be 32, which is considered “poor”. Then the monitor uses this number along with your heart rate to calculate calorie usage. Since I have just dropped my VO2 max from 40, which I set manually before, to 32 it has changed the math the monitor calculates calorie usage. I think these new numbers are probably more accurate as to how much I’m burning vs. what I have been reporting before. I will perform the fitness test more frequently now and adjust my VO2 max accordingly.

We bought a new elliptical for our home. I can certainly get a lot better cardio workout on it than walking around the block. I’ll tell more about it in a later post.
