  • 3 sets dumbell shoulder press @ 30lbs each hand

Star Trac eSpinner
To my surprise the eSpinner read my chest strap this time.  This was the exact same model of machine that didn't read it a couple week ago (click the eSpinner category to bring that up).  I used a different one, and perhaps it had a working battery or something.  At any rate I had great feedback of cadence and heart rate on the screen.  I forgot to set my watch, and so I only have the machine totals to report.  The machine does not give a peak heart rate, so that will be missing.  I did an endurance workout, level 4/5, 25-30mins, and entered 195 for my maximum heart rate.  I used the trainer videos the machine had and stayed within the cadence AND heart rate zones as best as I could.  The endurance workout is a little less intense than interval, and I bet strength is even more intense than that.

Time = 28:14
Distance = 8.10 miles
Avg HR = 130 (includes warmup and cool down though, so peak would have been useful, I do remember hitting upper 140's a bit though)
Avg Cadence = 71 (I didn't need to go to the upper range of the cadence to get my heart rate where it needed to be since I was putting on resistance)
K Burned = 361
