I haven't done the Prowler all summer , 'cause its too fucking hot.
I wore heart rate monitor yesterday.
Kept it on for up to 2 hrs afterward to see what happens.
I did 6 rounds at 20 sec max-speed-push w/ 1:40 rest periods.
177# on the sled (sled weighs ~77#) on smooth asphalt.
Normally my resting (sitting upright on couch) HR = 65 +/-.
Walking around, say from parking lot to gym, up stairs to squat rack . . . 85 ish
0-12:00 Prowler . . .ending at only 155+/- . . .surprised thought would get higher. I was dying here
13:00 152
30:00 133 - this is what would be considered "cardio range" on the treadmills/elipiticalls . . . for my age, weight, etc . "Cardio" = 129 to 150 ish
60:00 120
1:25:00 113 - this would be considered LISS HR range on the cardio machines . . .i.e. "80% fat burn" whatever
2:00:00 108 - same, low end of "aerobic fat burn range"
Basically from 12 min to 15 min did nothing but writhe around on the floor.
16-20 small cooldown walk. Real slow to mail box, put away prowler weights, etc.
From 16 min to 1hr:25min I did nothing but drive car, eat breakfast, sit and talk with familiy, drive a car back home.
From 1:25 to 2 hr just watched TV/football and folded laundry.
Imagine if I was still to do yard work during this time, or just walk around shopping, or moved around some. . . if anything would probably be 5-10 beats higher per min.
Basically HR stays elevated for a long long time afterward . . .
EPOC?, "afterburn", etc
Only 12 minutes of terrible work . . . vs hours and hours of LISS . . . fuck LISS.
