I feel I'm at a disadvantage - I've had my metabolism tested both resting and exercising, and I know exactly how many calories I burn per minute of exercise at different heart rate levels. At 126-135, 7.2 calories. At 136-144, 10.2. If I exceed 144, I count 12. I look at the calorie burn of some of you and WISH my metabolism weren't so sluggish!) So here's my progress so far:
Height: 5'5"
Starting weight: 171.8
Monday: 768 calories - (Seated elliptical 50 min - 360 calories) (Standing elliptical 40 min = 408 calories)
Tuesday: 951 calories - (Hiking, 45 min = 411 calories) (Walking 4mph, 51 min = 540 calories)
Wednesday: 771 calories (kayaking, 2 hours)
Thursday: 784 calories (Seated elliptical 45 min - 324 calories) (Standing elliptical 45 min = 460 calories)
Haven't worked out today yet. Have a kayak trip tomorrow!0 -
