I was in pretty bad territory when I was so sick and having the surgeries, now with the dietary restrictions for the kidney disease and riding regularly I am doing very well. Your BP seems good to me too, but I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so what can that mean
. Hope you keep up the good results, I am switching to a HR monitor a 50+ member sent me, so I can watch out for the same zone restrictions as you. Best of luck, keep us updated, too.
I took my HR monitor to my doctor and we established that my HR is indeed 181-183 Based on my flat out sprint and Climbing rate. So once she approved of that as being my Max HR I use this method to establish zones and once again informed the nutritionist. Therefore I got the stay out of zone 4 and 5 as long as I am on the low carb segment of the program so I can stay in fat burning without attack my muscle mass for energy.
