Hello!
I (36f) am of intermediate fitness but have been exercising consistently (~3x/wk) for the past several months and my HR during exercise baffles me.
My resting HR is 65 and BP ~90/50 but my HR jumps to >110 during warm up and stays well above 150 the entire work out. I usually do a weights/strength class and bike for my workouts.
Can you help me understand if some people’s HR during exercise is just higher than normal or of I need to train differently to have better HR control.
Stats posted (B=bike, W=weights).

Thank you!

Hello! Our backyard has beautiful pecan trees that provide shade all day long. I have beautiful Annual Rue grass all winter but obviously it’s not gonna tolerate our summer heat.
We have two small children who love to play and run outside, so we are looking for shade-tolerant turf grass/lawn options.
I looked at the Native American shade grasses, but they seem much taller/longer than we want right now.
It seems like St. Augustine might be our best bet but I’d love your opinions AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE PICTURES IF YOU HAVE A SIMILAR SITUATION!
(We considered ground cover, but I don’t think it’ll hold up well to our walking/running/picnics).
Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
