By: Wes Winter I recently had a good conversation with a couple of members about that uncomfortable high heart rate feeling we all have experienced during a workout. That feeling of 160+bpm, puky, heart pounding, gasping for air feeling. We’ve all felt it. And they wondered if that was normal/ healthy/ physically ok? My answer was yes, yes it is. I then shared a story about myself I haven’t shared with many people, and why that heart exploding feeling our badass members experience an hour a day might just be the best thing for them. This time last year in late winter, a friend and I decided to take our kayaks up to Tahoe for an early morning winter paddle.

This week’s Featured Athlete was chosen by Coach Arthur! Thanks for continuously working hard Maryann, keep up the great work! “My DECF Monday goes out to my DECF Masters, Maryann Potter.  Maryann has been a member of Double Edge for a little over a year.  During this time I have had to use my best salesman skills to convince her to try burpees.  Finally last year Maryann, begrudgingly, started doing burpees.  Today I watched her do 15 burpees, without a complaint, like a pro.  Maryann you have come a long way, thank you for your willingness to break out of your comfort zone.  Great work today.” – Coach ArthurRead more
