[QUOTE="Annie, post: 3024707, member: 42224"] Good for you ... yeah the humidity is kicking my ass, too. I HATE that sticky feeling ... And I dunno about you but I feel like I can't catch my breathe sometimes when I'm outside working out in this kind of weather. Argh ... serious question -- can you do too much cardio?? I did a half hour with the trainer this morning (I loathe those ****ing bear crawls, btw ...), then did 15 minutes on the rowing machine to cool off and stretch my upper back out. I felt pretty good so I thought "Ehhh, I'll do a half hour of cardio on the bike -- I'm needing to kick my average heart rate up a bit on my hour ride so what the heck, let see what can do ... I've started gauging my rides less by miles and "how I feel" and more by my average heart rate while riding and my resting heart rate in the evenings. I'm still not strong enough to gauge my muscle strength by anything but "man, I'm not sore, I need to do more" and "**** me, I might have overdone it yesterday" ... lol Anyway, I wound up spending an hour and half on the bike, AHR was 147 (which is actually a little higher than what it has been in the last week -- I've been "stuck" at 145. Anyway, I don't feel bad, but I caught myself on the way home wondering if I could get another hour in on the bike this evening after I get done talking to the tattoo guy about some work I want done. Too much?? Okay as long as I feel good?? (I suspect the benadryl, and 3 full nights of sleep, which I haven't had since right after my surgery in May are the reasons for me feeling so energetic. It is amazing what a few good nights' sleep in a row can do for you. I'm kinda hoping that this working out thing will eventually take the place of the benadryl -- which I'd really like to stop depending on for sleep -- but it beats the heck outta prescription Rxs, so I'll stick with it as a necessary evil for a while.
