21 days

so today was the first day with a new habit. this morning i was at the gym by 7:15. sure, a little later than anticipated, but it was snowing and dark, so i’m using that as an excuse. i now have a heart monitor. which is really important, and i didn’t even realize it. work smarter, not harder right? so if you pant and sweat and try so hard on that crappy machine without seeing enough results to make it worth it, there’s a reason for that. you’re doing it wrong.

Go here to check out the fat-burning zones as opposed to the muscle burning zone or which zone burns more calories, or just in general what your max heart rate should be, since hurting your heart is probably a bad thing: target heart rate and zones.

so say it with me people, i will start a new habit. i will replace a bad one with a good one. i will write about it in my blog. i need a support group, i’m just not motivated enough on my own. who’s with me?
