Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I realize this one is out of place and belongs in the Fitness Goals group, but when I went there, the result...didn't go too good. Blame my messed up brain. It's really frustrating me at this point, so here goes, with slightly different wording and what has happened since the original post on the Fitness Goals area:
I had a friend on DS already work with me on the question below, but like a moron I didn't bring anything to take notes with or otherwise video capture what she was doing. So now I'm back where I started with it. I hope nobody on the board minds:
I train at a studio near my house, and I always have a heart rate monitor with me when I'm working out. But I'm always getting confused while using it because I have a lot of trouble understanding what my target heart rate range is while I'm using the monitor.
My problem is that with the way I understand things like this, I really need to see examples written out step by step; it seems to help me see and understand what's going on better.
This is really going to sound crazy to some of you, but do any of you have or could make a YouTube video explaining target heart rate zones and actually have a couple of written examples that I could watch?
I'm 35 if someone wants to use mine for one example.
(I would also be willing to talk over Skype if that is easier.)
Now since that post:
* This same friend at DS has told me she'd be happy to go through it again, but recently she has been very busy and hasn't been able to reach me much. One reason why this is here is to hopefully take any pressure off her back.
* A second friend has actually tried over pm...she had the right idea, it's just that at the moment she doesn't have a camera so she really can't show it the way I evidently need to see it for this to "click".
Can someone help with this?
