Since these Ab Ripper workouts have been getting a little stale I've left out a few as the information would have offered nothing new. I did a 9:45pm workout, about an hour earlier than I normally do, to change things up a little. I also stretched a little and then did 50 jumping jacks and then immediately started the DVD so that my heart rate would be up at the beginning of the workout.
Avg HR = 111 bpm
Peak HR = 142 bpm
K Burned = 140
As you can see, no dramatic differences. I think I am getting to that point that it is harder and hard to get my heart rate to spike upwards as I am in better shapes. You'll notice this with my last Yoga workout as well. I'm at the point in Ab Ripper were I am completing 334 out of 339 reps in the routine and I am doing the more difficult options on 3 of the exercises that have options. I think I am in just better cardio shape overall now, but I will keep looking at ways to get the heart rate up and calories burned without having to load up on caffeine.
