workout

Today, I again did a taebo tape and had a HR of around 120 the whole time. The highest was 152. I also went jogging on the treadmill for 25 minutes at 7mph. The met was 12 and i burned about 320 kcal. To me that seems like a lot of calories for only 25 minutes, but according to the calculations, that's right!

house cleaning

Yesterday for my job, I cleaned my boss's house. It took me almost 3 hours to clean. I have my HR monitor on and found that the avg hr was around 100. My highest was when I was vaccuuming and scrubbing the floor. It got up to 130. I also went on the stationary bike for 20 minutes at 10 mph. The met was between 5-6 and I burned about 130 kcal.

Bow Flexing

Before i left home, sat. night i went on our bow flex machine for 30 minutes. I tried to blog about this on sunday, but blackboard was down, so I hope this still counts for 5 extra credit points for blogging over spring break. Anyway, my heart rate stayed around 100 during my workout, and at max it was 108. I also went on the tread mill for 20 minutes at 7.3 mph and had a HR of around 145.

Spring Break

Well, considering i'm not lying on a beach or going skiing in CO like i did last year for Spring Break, I decided I mine as well keep up with my workout routine. I drove home for the week and since we have a treadmill, I decided to run on it yesterday. I started out jogging two miles at 7.3mph, then instead of running at a steady pace the rest of the time, i decided to try something different. I walked for 2 min. at 3.8mph then ran for 2 min. at 9mph. I continued to do this for 20 minutes. My heart rate was jumping around from 160-185 during the running part, and went down to around 120 during the walking parts. I enjoyed this workout quite a bit. Today my quads are a little sore, considering i'm not used to running at that fast of a speed! I think i'll try to do this once a week just to switch it up from my jogging routine.

eliptical/wt.lifting

Tonight I went to the YMCA to work out. I went on the elliptical for 20 minutes and had an avg HR of 140. I then did some wt. lifting for 30 minutes on my upper body. My HR was up and down depending on what lifts did. Overall it was between 120-140. My HR lowered every time I took breaks in between.

jogging and biking

Yesterday I went on a stationary bike for 10 minutes at 10mph. My avg HR was 133. Then I hit the treadmill for 25 min. at 7 mph. HR for that was between 145-160. The last 5 min. i put on a 2% incline which increased my HR to 165. I took a one minute resting HR after I went on the treadmill and it went down from 155-85. Then I went back and did the bike for 10 more minutes and the treadmill for another 25 minutes. My heart rate stayed about the same for each. And again my resting HR after one minute was at 83.
