Well, I have now done 10 days of 30 Day Shred level 1. The first day was awful, but it's gotten noticeably more manageable (but still hard). I still have a lot of trouble with push-ups. I've also realized how routine the elliptical had gotten at the gym. I like it because I can read while doing it, ...

20 pounds in 30 days sounds like a bit much.. I don't know if it's safe to lose that much weight in a month (not that it's likely in a "20-minute circuit-training workout"). It took me a good 2 years to lose around 100 pounds safely and healthily (roughly 4 pounds a month) and there were ...

I enjoyed all of them, obviously, but I'm not sure I could rank them right now. Honestly, it gets kind of fuzzy what is in each book. I'm rereading Deathly Hallows now, for only the 2nd time.

As far as I know, the only reason it is important to avoid high heart rates is because of the risk of MI. As you increase your heart rate, the time your heart spends in diastole decreases. Since coronary arteries fill and perfuse the heart tissue only during diastole, high heart rates can cause myoc...
