Just a few thoughts on your heart rate when exercising. To start with you need to find your max heart rate. You do this by taking the number 220 minus your age. Ex. age 20 max HR is 200. When you exercise you want your max heart rate to be between 60% and 80% of that max. Ex. 200 x .6= 120, 200x .8= 160. By exercising at 60-80% of your max HR you will burn calories most efficient. If you are higher that 80% your body is in overdrive and won't burn as efficient. If you are lower than 60% then you burn slower. You can divide your two numbers by 6 to get a 10 second heart rate. Ex. 120 divide 6=20, 120 divide 6=27 so if you take a 10 second heart rate you would want it to be between those two numbers.
Here is a great and healthy recipe! This is not my recipe family, no fear. This is word for word from my friend Tiffany who is an excellent cook! It does sound really good too!!
Balsamic Orange Salmon
This is my flavor of the month. I got the idea from The Biggest Loser, these Zip n' Steam bags are now my best friend. Try this recipe, you will be hooked, I promise. The best part is it's so easy and no huge kitchen messes.
1. Remove skin from 1 large or 2 small salmon fillets (total 12 - 16 ounces), if needed. Cut large fillet in half. I buy a bag of frozen salmon from Costco--the fillets come in individual packages.
In a small bowl prepare glaze:
1 teaspoon orange zest
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
¼ teaspoon salt
3. Spoon glaze on top of salmon, spreading it evenly. Tuck any thin parts of fillet underneath for
even cooking.
4. Put glazed salmon in Ziploc® Brand Zip ‘n SteamTM bag, placing thicker portions toward outer edge of bag. Seal bag and place in microwave.
5. Cook on full power for 3 ½ minutes or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. If needed, continue microwaving at 30-second intervals until salmon is done.
6. Allow bag to stand 1 minute before handling. Carefully open bag. Use spatula to remove cooked salmon from bag. Serve with dipping sauce and garnish with sliced green onions and orange slices, if desired.
Dipping Sauce (optional)
3 Tablespoons orange juice
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ teaspoon honey
Pinch of salt (about teaspoon)

Good, get all of your weight off this month and we all will win the months after that!!
Tried the salmon tonight - was very good. Had a very orange taste. Was different than normal salmon! The zip and Steam bags were amazing!!!
We had salmon at Jenny's prepared with the recipe. I really like it and your dad (Bill) says he liked his broiled. I think if might work then with a little variation. I will have to think on this and maybe come up with combination recipe. We love salmon!
