Today's workout....

Another Polar heart rate test.

Alternated one song of DDR on Expert (Konami songs only) and 20 40kg (88#) swings.

Here are some observations.
* Workout Time: 52:05
* Calories burned: about 630
* Peak heart rate (about 163) right after about the 12th set of swings
* Heart rate during DDR: Generally between 135 and 154 depending on the song
* According to the HR monitor, the calorie burns on DDR was overestimated (not surprised, I am getting more efficient)
* HR dropped from 154 to 94 pretty quickly (about 5 minutes) and it is still dropping. In the time it took to type the last sentence, it dropped to 90.
* Not that I give to sheets about these numbers, but my:
- Max Heart rate is 179
- Fat Burning Zone is between 116 and 134
- Cardio Vascular Condition (Max VO2 Zone) is between 143 and 152
* I did not stop the test early enough, but my average HR was 133
* The watch says I spent 51 minutes in the "Fitness" zone on 15.5 in the "Fat Burn" Zone, most of that at the end resting (or after burn).

Next Test: Max VO2 - stay tuned!
