Day 2- Music & Heart rate

I don't know about anyone else but i have to have good "make you wanna dance" music when i am doing cardio. if i do not, i become a clock watcher and in that 20-30 mins takes FOR-EV-VERRRR!!!!
I like to turn on the TV so i am not just staring at the wall and i have an app on my phone where i can get music that i can rock out to while i work out on the accent trainer.

Songs i like to work out to:

• Michael Jackson- Rock with you, Don't Stop till you get enough
• Ke$ha- Blow, We R Who We R
• Pussycat Dolls- Buttons, When I grow up
• Gwen Stifani- What you waiting for
• Rupaul- Covergirl, Jealous of my Boogie
• Paul Oakenfold feat. Britney Murphy- Faster kill Pussycat
• Rhianna- S&M
• LMAFO- Party Rock Anthem
• Britney Spears- Toxic, Womanizer
• David Guetta feat. Rhianna- Who's that Chick
• David Guetta  feat. Fergie, Chris Willis & LMAFO- Gettin over You
• Ashlee Simpson -Hot Stuff
• Black Eyed Peas- Imma Be, My humps

there are alot more..... but i will leave it at that for now :)

I like to be aware of my heart rate because i dont want to go over my max heart rate, so i slow it down till it gets back down.... then i get back to busuiness. In the past i have heard that if i go over my max heart rate i am not burning fat anymore i am burning muscle. So i looked into how one ind out their Target & Max heart rate? this is what one site suggested- (i modified the info to make it easier to understand. it was written out)

Step 1- Resting HR- You will need to count the number of heart beats in 15 seconds.

that #

 x 4

Resting HR or

Total Beats Per Minute (BPM)

Mine is 68. That may seem low, but i asked one of the Nurses at work why my number is low and she said it is because i work out on a regular basis.

Step 2- Target HR. AKA: the middle of your working out HR

                                             220                         Mine- 220

                                         Your Age                                33

                                       -Resting HR                             -68

                                       Target HR                               119

Step 3-Low HR. AKA: the low end of your working out HR

                                        Target HR                               119

                                          x 0.06                                x 0.06

                                             #                                       7.14

                                    + Resting HR                             + 68

                                        Low HR                                 75.4

Step 4- Maximum HR- AKA: the high end for your woking out HR

                                      Target HR                                 119

                                          x 0.7                                   x 0.7   

                                             #                                       83.3

                                    +Resting HR                               +68

                                       Max HR                                151.3

but according to another site that has a HR calculator, it says my Max HR is 186.

So i think i will have to do a lil investigating and find out what the answer would be.
