My dilemma of the previous post has been solved. One more conflict removed from life.
The answer: stay within the endurance zone. Since my goal is to first get in shape and loose weight, Deb, The f.i.t Fitness Guru, has advised me that the endurance zone is the best way for me to burn fat. So burn, baby, burn!
And while I was a little leary of being left behind – or more importantly being the only one noticeably taking it back a notch to stay within in my zone, whether it be spending more time in the saddle in spin or doing more off the bag in kickboxing – I will let my heart rate monitor be my guide.
It’s a slow process, the pounds aren’t melting away as easily as they did the first time around 10 years ago, but I do notice a difference in the way my close fit – not a change in size, but in comfort and (blessedly) some slight bagginess.
I’ll take my victories where I can get them.

I've never been able to really stay in the endurance zone. It felt so wimpy (if you call those heart rate monitors on the treadmills and ellipticals accurate). I dunno... the theory sounds good, but it's harder to execute. Good luck!
