I bought me a Heart Rate Monitor awhile back and really hadn’t used it.  I noticed while I was teaching my light yoga class in Buffalo Gap that I couldn’t see my watch too much because my eyesight is not what it used to be because I find myself at the computer all the time anymore.  :) 

I switched wearing my regular watch to my Heart Rate Monitor watch so that I could see the numbers.
Well, since I have my heart rate monitor on I thought I would just see how many calories I am burning with all of my exercise classes that I teach.  I have been stunned, but I use the heart monitor to my benefit as well. 

I can usually burn about 750 calories on a great day just exercising or teaching classes. 

One of the reason that I wear this monitor also, is because that it really keeps my accountable for what I eat afterwards.  Have you ever noticed that people tend to eat way more than they burn after they work out.  They have the mentality that since they have worked out that they can eat anything they want to.  Okay, I know there are exceptions like Michael Phelps.  He can eat everything under the sun.  I am talking about us average folks who seem to just look at food and gain weight.

I also encourage my students and older folks to get a monitor so that they can see for themselves what they are burning and then they can adjust their meals accordingly.  This has helped tremendously for many of them.

All I am saying is get yourself a great heart rate monitor and start keeping track of those calories actually burned during your workout.  You will be amazed.

Don’t forget to workout to Power 90x, one-on-one with Tony, and the 10 minute Trainer with Tony.

He is the best.  i love him.
