Pop Challenge!

Surprise! It's time for a POP CHALLENGE  to go along with our regular December challenges.

To get your best weight loss results you should be training using different heart rate ranges. In order to know which range you should be training in you need to know your resting heart rate. Your new challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to find out what your resting heart rate is.

How to find your resting heart rate:

-Try to wake up with out an alarm but if you need to use an alarm make sure that it is as peaceful as you can make it. 
-Do not sit up or stand up after you wake up!This is very important.
-Make sure you have a watch with a second hand or a stop watch next to your bed. Find your pulse either at the wrist or your neck.

-Count the number of beats for one minute. 
-Take your pulse for 3 consecutive days. Find the average of your numbers: find the sum of all the numbers and divide by how many numbers there are.

For example: 
If your numbers are 64, 67, and 70 then + them together =201 and / by 3 which  = 67.

By following these steps you should end up with your resting heart rate. Good luck!
