JAZZERCISE:

Another workout question. I am needing to drop my EFT automatic-payment to Jazzercise, since I'm doing REPAIR.
1. Is Jazzercise considered 60 minutes of steady-state aerobics that will be acceptable in the OPT training program? I really love this class. How would I consider it. It is 40 min of dancy aerobics and 20 minutes of toning with 5-pound (light for me) weights.

2. At what point will i be able to add Jazzercise back: within REPAIR I read that at Stage 4 I add activity, 65% of my MHR is only 102.7 very slow...

Would a 10 minute warmup and 30 min Jazzercise aerobics qualify for Stage 4, 5, 6 for 2 of the 3 days? I think that might be more like 135 at the peak of the class, but I don't know I do it lighter than I used to due to my foot problem. It is the one "exercise" that I really love. (compared to exercise bike or weights)...

Also,
I have been thinking of walking to and from the bus on my commute, 10 minutes to, and 20 minutes home, sometimes during the week, as a way of changing my sedentary life. Currently I drive the mile to the bus. But I will wait until appropriate stage in REPAIR or as coached by Leigh...

Both of these perhaps are more for the OPT program of fat loss.

thanks, Etana
