Tomorrow and Friday I have dance, so those should be some awesome mega-burns. Going shopping tomorrow for some new essentials...I'm tired of making the old, too big ones fit. So that should be fun! Looking forward to an awesome close to the week.0 -

Happy weekend! Kickboxing this morning then later on I take my DD to watch "Mirror, Mirror"! I saw the "Avengers" yesterday and it was totally awesome! I'm gonna watch it again (I get free tickets since my sister and brother in law are both managers for Regal theatres) with the DW when she gets back from San Diego.
Cardio: kickboxing- 60 min (500 calories)
Strength: NONE
Assessment: I was WAY over in calories from yesterday,but the scale was kind this morning.0 -

Hadn't really thought about it, lol. I guess it's habit from doing P90X, which has wide-grip pullups, chin ups, reverse-grip chins, and yet another grip variation for pullups, all in the same chest & back workout.
Also the order of my list is a little misleading, as those are done in supersets with the inverted rows and the warm-up sets for the deadlifts. That part of the workout goes pretty fast, very little rest between sets, almost cardio. But then the working set deadlifts begin!
So it's Saturday, weigh-in day ... and I'm UP 1.4 lbs. WTF? I had ONE bad food day this week, and missed ONE cardio workout. No change in how the new smaller-size clothes are fitting. Dude in the mirror looks alright. So I'm thinking it's water weight, and possibly muscle growth from the strength workouts. But that much? Probably not. Frustrating.
Cardio today:
30 minutes spinning to a free podcast. Killer! ~250 cals.
40 minutes doing the Men's Health "Spartacus" workout. ~400 cals.
Food: good so far. Going to a Cinco de Mayo party tonight ... will have to play it right.
Hey Niner, is there any way to get an ACCURATE count of my RMR or BMR?0 -
Hello, all! Some great workouts going on.
@Spartacus: I'm up a couple pounds this week, myself. I figure it's a mix of water retention and a couple off days in the eating. I'm sure it'll drop back off soon enough.
Saturday: Cardio. HIIT sprint/jog mix
1. 2 minute warm up - light jog.
2. Sprint 15 seconds and recover jog for 45 seconds. 15 sets (15 minutes total).
3. 10 minutes light paced jog.
4. 1 minute sprint intervals with 1 minute of jogging. 13 minutes.
5. 5 minutes stretching.
Food: Off to a pool party. Not expecting to overeat.0 -
Thanks Brandi; you're probably right!
Sunday Strength Day: Chest & Back
Mixed up the routine a little bit, so I could incorporate supersets throughout the workout, keeping the heart rate elevated (very little rest time.) I should probably invest in a HRM at some point, lol.
10 minute cardio/calisthenic warmup
Pushups and inverted rows, 3x12 supersets with no rest.
Flat bench press and wide-grip pullups (first three supersets), then bench press and 1-arm dumbbell rows (last three.)
Incline bench press and side-grip pullups (four supersets).
2-arm bent-over dumbell rows and military push-ups, 2 supersets.0 -
Sunday: Softball!
Two games. I was a sub for first game, so really, only 60 minutes as catcher. We won both games. Played well, had fun. Didn't feel like much exercise, though.
Food: on target, calorie-wise. Enjoyed some extra chocolate.0 -
Most of the online formulas are pretty accurate if you're honest with your actual activity. Try using the Mifflin/St. Jeor method of calculation since it's seems a little more accurate IMO.Curious why you do pullups and chin ups in same session. But good back and bi's!
