What happens at 100%?

If your working out on say the cross trainer and your heart rate at 90% what happens when you get to 100%? Do you keel over? Why would they let you get to 100% it seems silly to me and dangerous. Call me nuts but this is the sort of thing that goes through my mind while exercising. Mainly I am thinking turn the f...ing music down and turn the tv's up. What is the point of having the tv on in front of the exercise machines if you can't bloody hear it. I'm also thinking why is the clock 10 minutes fast on one clock and 5 minutes fast on another in eyesight of each other. It gets on my wick as it seems I'm always late when I'm not. I think I'm getting old and grumpy. sigh!!!

Happy to report that my cardio fitness is getting better. 2 weeks ago I could only do 5 mins on the xtrainer before my feet went numb and I had to stop. Last week 10 minutes. Anyway today I did 15 minutes. Working my way up to 20 minutes then I will increase my speed. yah me... small goal but getting there. I can go forever on bikes and treadmills but the xtrainer puts my feet to sleep. Despite having my technique checked by my trainer. Bizzare really... so in summary either my feet have got used to being numb or I'm getting fitter. Most days I'm doing 45-60 mins split between the treadmill, bike, then the xtrainer for however long I can go. And I'm trying to go for a walk as well on days I can't be arsed going to the gym. Then my two training sessions with Sorina where this week she has uped the anti and working me much harder. My arms are sore a bit.

Despite all this i am yet to lose any weight still. However diet has been a little off. Oh well. It will happen. It can't not given the work I'm doing. I hope this isn't a sign my hormone imbalance is causing my weight. I hope its a sign that I am eating too much sugar. I suspect so.

Anywhoo off to dinner!
