Day 338 I now have done 2638 workouts in 2510 days as of January 17, 2015

Day 338  I now have done 2638 workouts in 2510 days as of January 17, 2015.A  very cold day 12 degrees @ five in the morning.

Did a one  hour hard cardiovascular workout  burned 2107 calories.
By getting on the Cybex arch trainee @ six thirty eight

this morning and setting the program to manual.Despite a tweaked back .still recovering from a brutal 18 hour stretch Monday from three thirty pm to Tuesday at nine thirty am.when I was very uncomfortable with chills and extreme light headed ness. However, today January 1, I am happy to report that I feel much better than the days following my illness��My workout today followed my workout from 510 pm , so my rest was less than 20 hours. Then I set my weight to 400 pounds even though I weigh only 185 that provides a tough challenge because now the machine thinks I can handle more resistance.The reason I set the program to manual was because it offers a great test of stamina to keep going without any drop in resistance. I then set my time to 120 minutes. Reason I love the challenge of being able to maintain the pace. Next, the resistance was set 100% and finally the incline was set to its highest level 10 which provides a good constant  steep grade. This blog is called I love to workout. One other note. Although I set the time for 120 minutes there is always a five minute cool down. At that time I then lower my resistance from 100% to 70%. So I actuallually do a 5 minute cool down every  time I workout. I have noticed that most people:

A- do not set the machine to manual

B- do not set their resistance above 50%

C- probably think I am crazy

So when you add in my extra 5 minutes everyday you can see that 5 x  is  x minutes which equals x more hours of workouts.However,I do not include that because I am not doing what I consider a hard cardiovascular workout during those 5 minutes of cool down.

By burning 4314 calories in 2 hours I exceeded my other high mark in a 2 hour workout. The highest I had done prior was 4245 on November 23,2014- Wow awesome some effort and workout
If I had continued at 2166 for another hour I would have beat the 4314 I did on 11/23 by burning 4332 in 2 hours. That was an awesome pace and hard cardiovascular workout!

Did a one  hour hard cardiovascular workout today  1/11/15 and burned 2272 calories,phenomenal! Times two that is a 4544 calorie burn! Outstanding that is also a 38 calorie  burn a minute performance. That vastly exceeds any runs I have done of late.

Day 314 I now have done 2612 workouts in 2487 days as of December 23, 2014. Did a two hour workout today and burned 4339 calories -Last best was 4314 on 11/23/2014-

Day 1618 Daily questions for highly determined individuals 

It has been well founded that it takes 21 days to form a habit, looking at that as guide what have you noticed is one thing, be it mental or physical that you have done everyday for the last 14 days?Why have you begun to do it? What have you noticed since you started to do it? How does it make you feel?

Why is today a great day because you got up this morning?

Why is today a great day because you got up in the United States?

Why is today a great day because you got a chance to see your significant other's smile?

Why is today a great day because you got up and will do a lot to help others?

A question about confidence. If you 

 were in contest and the top two highest scoring contestants were given over a 1000 dollars and you were in third place  not far behind and you had a chance to sell your 3rd place position with one more round to go:

A- Would you?

B- would you sell it for 250?

C- would sell it for 400?

D- would sell for 900?

Of these four  types of contests which one would  you feel the most confident in not selling your third place spot?

Stand up comedy?

Dancing?

Public speaking?

Singing?

Have you ever come in first or second for anyone of these types of contests?

Which is a bigger challenge for you, keeping a positive attitude or anything else in life?

Here are three things that motivate  people other than money.

1) Autonomy able to do things your way.

2) Mastery a challenge to be masterful at something.

3) Purpose able to do something that has a cause or reason bigger than themselves.

Of these three pick one that motivates you most. Why did you choose that one?

Scientists have studied where most people get their motivation. Where do you think most people get their motivation? 

Name three things that motivate you. 

Can you use one word to separate yourself from others? Can you use one sentence to separate yourself from others?
