Today I got an opportunity to try out the underwater treadmill. Basically, it is like a regular treadmill, but it is underwater - duh? There are cameras so that you can see your form and jets that push you for resistance. We all got a 15 minute demo, but the guy before me didn't show so I took his spot as well. In the end I got a 30 minute workout. After all that, I did 10 laps in the pool (still needed to rest in between laps). Is it just me or is it easier to swim in deeper water?
Anyways, so I was watching Dr. Oz talk about heart rate on Oprah tonight. Which got me thinking about my target heart rate. Here are my numbers:
Resting heart rate: 66 beats/min - count how many in 10 seconds then I multiply by 6 (while sitting down watching TV)
Target heart rate: 129-172 beats/min
A Journey is not a trip... A Journey is not a vacation... It's a process of self-discovery... It brings us face to face with ourselves...

Positive Thoughts for an Athlete
I will learn to prepare myself so that I am able to display my best in any given condition. If I want to obtain good results I will train with a positive, passionate, creative, enduring and challenging attitude, which is also application for being successful in life.
I will stick to my goals and make every effort for self-development to reach them. I will learn about endurance.
I know that all I need to do after falling down is to stand up again. If I fail, I will keep going until I succeed.
