In 60 minutes you burn probably at least 500 calories. Unlike steady cardio, you have lots of bursts which is more HIIT related.Love my Saturdays of flag football! Two losses, but they were fun games.
2 games (60 minutes each). Don't really know calories burned. Lots of cardio. Slightly pulled a calf muscle. Will see if it holds up at softball tomorrow.0 -
MMMMM cheesecake!Cardio: aerobics (350)
Circuit: 30ds level 3 (160) Doesn't really burn that much, have to work harder I guess.
Assessment: Managed some good healthy home cooking, and splurged on some cheesecake. Just under goal but only because of an extra aerobics session. I love random work out routines on the internet :-D0 -
Hey gang,
I like myself unconditionally!
Happy Monday! Well I should be down by 2.5lbs right now, but I'm not. Damn weekend party!!! Well that means I have to at least try to make up some of it this week. So somewhere during the week I'll have to do a higher activity day of some sort. Gotta do what you gotta do!
Cardio:walk/jog 3 mi (400 calories)
Strength:quads-leg extension, leg press, squat, lunges. 4x6
Assessment:Did a friend's party this weekend and there was nothing but good food in there all day!0 -
Good morning!
Cardio: Tae Bo 30 mins for 300 kcals
Strength : none
Painted this weekend, a bit chilly but the front of the house looks good and it's ready for the coming rain. Now to find a new skeleton for Halloween!
Assessment: feeling good. Stayed within calories for the week. Water was on mark. Protein wasn't great this week, gotta work on it.0 -
Tae Bo sounds nice, cheesecake was darn good.
Cardio: Today was meant to be a rest day, not planned but I did too much jumping yesterday and my calf muscles said "noooooo". Still somehow managed to light/low impact exercise my way up to a burn of 700 through a combo of biking, walking, low impact aerobics (wish I had a treadmill) and turbofire stretch 40.....not sure if the stretching should count as cardio, although it is in the mfp cardio section....anyway, it felt gooooooooood.
Strength: None
Assessment: Food good enough and under calories, woot!0 -

Thanks for the input. I put my calories burned as 1000 (since it was 120 minutes total). So, I guess it was a good estimate!
Past two days:
Sunday turned into a rest day (softball was rained out). My pulled calf needed it.
Monday (today):
Upper body strength training only today (still resting my calf).
3x10x15lb each of bicep curls, hammer curls, and another bicep curl (need to look up exact name of this version - starts with palm facing sides, as curl up, palms rotate up).
3x10x10lb shoulder raises (moved from 5lb dumbbells to 10lbs).
3x10x10lb reverse fly (also went from 5lb to 10lb dumbbells).
3x10 leg raises
3x10 kickups
1x 1 minute plank
2 x 30 second side planks
4 x 10 pushups
3x10x15lb skull crushers
3x10 tricep dips
4 x 30 second superman's
3 x 20 second leg and shoulder raise/hold (not sure of name on this ab exercise, need to look up).
Food: Over today. Enjoyed a little too much sushi. Also, didn't need the protein shake after workout from a calorie standpoint, but have felt light on protein past few days. Not worried about overage. Will be back on it tomorrow.0 -
Great job on the workout!

Cardio:walk/jog- 3 miles (400 calories)
Strength:back- pulldowns, bent over rows, seated rows, straight arm pulldowns. 4x6

Well, totally tanked on the weekend. Did nothing in the gym.
Monday:
Cardio: none
Strength:
Legs 3 x 10
Leg extensions
wide stance barbell squat
lunges
single-leg deadlift w/kettlebell
lying let curls
seated calf raise
calf press
Food: Great! Almost what I was aiming for. Water - gallon +
Assessment: Didn't go to gym til 9:00. Almost didn't go, but I know if I don't make myself be accountable - no one else is going to do it for me.0 -
Cardio: Walking (330)
Tae Kwondo (400)
Circuit: (180)
Assessment: Was doing pretty well until juuust before bed, I stop off in my boyfriend's room to grab my phone off of charge and see an open packet of doritos on the desk, I have some calories spare so I eat a couple, then a couple more, then a take a few nibbles out of a half eaten cookie that is also just sitting there. At this point I had completely eaten my hard earnt calorie surplus or so I thought (until I realised I hadn't entered my session of shred). Now with the burn from the shred factored in, I have a humble number of calories spare but am still annoyed, at myself for eating those things and at my boy for leaving temptation lying around like that *shakes fist*0 -
Hey!
Just lots of gardening for me yesterday. I logged half of it for 400 kcals
Assessment: Had a good day on both food and water, but slept terrible-changes in the wearther always mess me up- early bedtime tonight!0 -
Sunday was my normal day of rest after working out 6 days in a row. Monday's schedule didnt allow for a workout. Was a little iffy on calories, as I was just at my goal. Busted my butt today at workout. Spent an hour and a half in the gym, then came home and took a 40-minute walk with the dog. Pushed my limits on everything, increased reps, increased time, increased reistance and weight just a little bit to grab that extra calorie burn and to challenge my muscles. Actually not hurting right now, so I take that as a good sign.
Stationary bike, general (bicycling, cycling, biking) 30 mins, hill intervals, 237 calories
Running (jogging), 5.2 mph (11.5 min mile), 10 minutes, 137 calories
Walking, 3.0 mph, mod. pace, walking dog, 40 minutes, 170 calories
Pilates on the ball, 30 minutes, 105 calories
Strength training (weight lifting, weight training), 30 minutes, 116 calories
Ab crunches of five different varieties, as per usual, increased reps.
Ended up with 765 calorie burn, which felt great. Am buckling down the rest of the week to keep my progress moving forward. NO EXCUSES, NO WEAKNESSES!0 -

Tuesday was a Cardio day.
Did 40 minutes of jogging in place. Kept pace light and steady, as I'm still working with a pulled calf. Did a lot of cool down stretching. Calf does feel better than it did on Sunday. Estimated my burn as 275. Really no idea, but the pace was light, so I'd rather guess under. Did work up a sweat.
Food: Currently a bit under for the day. Might go have a small amount of chocolate or some nuts to get me up to at least my normal goal. I don't like eating under calories. But, I was high yesterday, so I know it's not a problem. Sodium is over today (at 2000mg instead of 1500mg). I need to watch that this week.0 -
Try to massage that calf out too so that it will increase the recovery time!Tuesday was a Cardio day.

FAST INTENSE cardio day today, despite muscle soreness from yesterday. Was careful to keep those muscles warm and stretched out to prevent injury. Mostly in my abs....hardcore core program is kicking my butt right now!
Stationary Bike - 30 minutes - 237 calories
Treadmill - 5.5 mph - 12 minutes - 135 calories
Pilates on Ball - 20 minutes - 87 calories
Usual regiment of crunches upped in reps this week, plus body bar standing obliques....
Feel the burn now, feel the burn now in your abs! I'm putting myself through a self-imposed Camp Six-Pack.
Good news! Still a little tenderness in my weak ankle, but DEFINITE improvement in the soreness after working out.
Food still definitely under by a lot thanks to massive exercise deficits.0 -
Report for Wednesday
Ended up being a pretty good exercise day this one
Cardio: Helping friend move house (300)
Natalie Cassidy then and now DVD (300)
Walking (120)
Stretching (100) (does stretching really burn calories?! Time will tell).
Circuit: 30ds level 3 - the plank on elbows thing, I'm really starting to feel it all over, didn't seem hard at first, guess those muscles involved are starting to revolt. (200)
Assessment: No good food day again (cmon Lisa, pull yourself together!) Lessons to learn, eat less cheese and don't get serves of chips all to myself, it's ok when I pinch them from the boyfriend but the attack plan of only eating half the whole serve is not fool-proof. Having said that, not over by too much, gooood salvage :-)0 -
Try to massage that calf out too so that it will increase the recovery time!
Thank you for the advice. Been doing that. Made sure to spend extra time today on it.
Strength Day:
Biceps

3x10x30lb (2x15lb dumbbells) squats
Abs
3x10 leg raises
2 x 30 second side planks
3x10 kickups
3x20 second shoulder and leg raise hold
2 x 1 minute plank
Chest
3x10 pushups
Food: a little under because missed most of lunch (busy day at work). Kept protein up, though.
Overall: Have dropped a little weight. Actually down to 168 this morning (been holding in the 169.4-170 for forever it seems). Going to see if the 168 holds to Friday before counting it as a check-in.0 -
