Day 441 I now have done 2760 workouts in 2614 days as of April 30, 2015
After waking at five forty five Friday morning and going to bed at one thirty Saturday morning I was awake for twenty one and a half hours. I woke up today ( Monday) at three fifteen in the morning and got on the machine at six thirty this morning.
Woke at six fifteen (walked Chili prior to work out) in the morning on Thursday the thirty th on machine at seven fifteen burned 2070 calories in an hour.
Burned 2070 calories in one hour on the Cybex arc trainer. Decided to wear a Hoodie and a t- shirt It was 40 degrees at three thirty in the morning.Highlight of the workout? I finished at seven thirty in the morning.
Burning 720 calories in the last twenty minutes. My aim was to get 2150 calories burned then when I realized that was close I was going like a madman to hit the 2122 mark.I just missed. It feels really good to chase a target as hard as you can!
Today, Easter I am scheduled to put in sometime working, which nullifies my opportunity to use to gym because the gym is only available while I will be busy doing something else. For some crazy reason on weekends the gyms are not open til 7 am. Which flies in the face of someone's desire to workout early on a weekend.
In an effort to exercise without the use of the gym I got up at 5 am and took Chili with me for a long walk. So be it, that was my workout. It really bugs me that On days when the gym is barely available that I have not set up a much better alternative.
Arrived at the gym a ten o'clock feeling less sick as all get out in the morning did a one hour workout and burned 2183 on a real machine! Highlight of the workout. Using the tougher machine burned 749 in last twenty minutes. Felt much better I have now taken 14 of the 20 of 500 milligrams pills of Ceftin. I have noticed that my nose is not running as consistently, I am squeezing less and since yesterday I had much more energy.
3/24/15 Let me tell you a quick story first. Over the 39 hour period of Sunday around 6 pm to Tuesday today around 9 am I felt abnormally sluggish so last night at around 845pm I went to bed and slept for a good 12 hours. As I noted early I steadfastly went through my normal routine of doing a hard cardiovascular workout within about 24 hours of my last workout.
As I mentioned yesterday the machine I used malfunctioned at 55 minute mark of the workout, with that in mind I elected to use a different machine. I had used this machine many times before and found that the same extra usually yielded a greater calorie burn per hour. As I began my workout I kept that thought in mind and I said to myself this would a great chance to sweat a lot of the sluggishness and sick feeling out of me. My first twenty numbers were inflated as expected so I pushed extra hard to see if I could break the 2300 barrier once again. When I hit the 40 minute mark I felt good and said I can break the 2300 calorie per hour burn again. Only challenge was that I was off pace by about 2 or 3 calories. Then I decided to break the 2305 number in spite of knowing the number would be considered by my standard inflated. So I then decided let us see how much we can blow this number up by!
Shazam! After burning 1530 calories in forty minutes I broke the 800 in 20 mark by burning 808 calories in the last 20 minutes. My total calorie burn for that hour was 2338 calories which is the new highest amount of calories I have burned since I have used any Arch trainer machine in the gym. I do recall in the old gym they had some machines that some to produce larger calorie burns but I am and at this time could not be exact on how I burned.
The other day as I was walking Chili I slipped on some ice and I felt it some in my knee.. Since the last 2 weeks has been followed by about 45 seconds of plank exercise which is very difficult to do because of the pain in my shoulder caused by arthritis. My plan now is to do a 2 hour workout every other day and to do the plank on the day I do not do a little 2 hour workout. The pain in the shoulders is immense when I attempt to do the plank. I did not do the plank today because shoulder was to stiff and sore.Agility test ** yesterday came down to 5 steps blocks,logs,jackhammer,buckets and wheel barrel.
I'm It all starts by me getting on the Cybex arch trainer
and setting the program to manual. 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.
