JANUARY'S HOT SUMMER BODY Mini-Challenge
Replies
-
I'm finally getting around to my goals (which I'm not very good at)
Weight: 214 :sad:
days on the elliptical: 20
weight loss: 1 lb per week.
Diet: to follow the Eating plan the dietitian gave me & to drink 6 glasses of water a day0 -
:ohwell: I'm not quite sure how it happened ... but here are today's totals
Two session (one before and one after supper) both at a pace of ~118-120 bpm --- which complies with the "70% of (226-age) formula ....
Ell #1 5.2 laps (1.3 miles) / 32 mins
Ell #2 8.5 laps (2.13 miles) / 53 mins
Combined Total: 13.7 laps (3.43 miles) / 85 mins.
If a family commitment hadn't been on the books, I could probably have easily handled a 3rd set of at least 30 mins at the same pace.
Maybe slower IS better overall :huh:0 -
Yesterday did 60 minutes of elliptical. Today another 60 minutes for 4.67 miles, almost to 5 the first 32 minutes were the weight loss program so half the time at 1 resistance and half at 10. Then another 28 minutes with 5 resistance. Good workout and I was almost going to skip but told myself to get up and go.0

I DID do 2 sets over 30 mins each yesterday, so I gave myself a pass for today, due to medical tests including fasting bloodwork (just follow-up to annual check-up, but still somewhat "draining" har har)0

Didn't work out yesterday but got back at it today for 62 minutes on the elliptical. I did 5 miles in 62 minutes so almost made the challenge for this month. I again did the weight loss program so half 12 minutes at 10 resistance and 20 minutes at 1 and then another 30 minutes at 5 resistance and 10 crossramp. Felt so good, I didn't work out yesterday and I also had pizza which was kind of a reward for my hard work last week so I had lots of energy and really sweated it out!0

30 minutes on the elliptical after 30 minutes of Zumba..... I need to do better getting my water in.0
