Day 1: Post-workout #2

Yo!

so, I just arrived home from the gym. did a quick little warm-up lap, and 45 minutes of Cardio on the cross-trainer (xt):

Cardio (interval-training):


So I did it like this -

• 5 minutes @ level 17(out of 20)
• 2 minutes @ level 19(out of 20)
• 1 minute @ level 20(out of 20)
• 1 minute @ level 17
• 2 minutes @ level 19
• 1 minute @ level 20
• 1 minute @ level 17
• 2 minutes @ level 19
• 1 minute @ level 20
• 1 minute @ level 17
• 2 minutes @ level 19
• 1 minute @ level 20
• 1 minute @ level 17
• 2 minutes @ level 19
• 1 minute @ level 20
• 3 minutes @ level 17 (cool-down)

Then, I walked a few laps around the track, and did a little hoppy-skippy-jumpy back on to the XT:

• 5 minutes @ level 17(out of 20)
• 2 minutes @ level 19(out of 20)
• 1 minute @ level 20(out of 20)
• 1 minute @ level 17
• 2 minutes @ level 19
• 1 minute @ level 20
• 1 minute @ level 17
• 2 minutes @ level 19
• 1 minute @ level 20
• 1 minute @ level 17

That's interval training; it burns roughly the same calories during the workout, but more continuous calories (higher resting metabolic rate) after. Get it?

Oh - my (rough estimate) gross caloric intake today is approx. 350 calories.

this includes:

• 8oz. of juice (for to take with the Creatine)
• approx. 5oz. Chicken (not skineless, grilled)
• stick of gum

My caloric output was at LEAST:

• 750 for 45 minutes interval cardio
• 100 for warm-up cardio (see earlier post-workout)

plus what I burned during and after the Chest/Triceps workout.

so I'm at least 500 calories in the red - which is a few things:

a. Clinical Anorexia
b. Awesome
c. Just where I want to be


aside from raising my metabolic rate through excercise and healthier (and certainly, going forward, there is a more orthodox diet than gum & chicken) eating, if i can stay behind myself by 500 calories a day, I will lose at LEAST 1lb/week for the next 6 weeks.

let's stay tuned, shall we?


See you in the a-m.
