Sleeping 3 3/4 hours out of the last  42 or so hours.
Tremendous energy drives me! 



The amazing thing is how in the last 20 I push so hard to finish strong.got a theory on that; after 35 to 40 minutes  the endorphins start invading the body and  the legs included get loose. Then I feel strong and ready for a big push. 

Outright determination to do workout despite small window of time available.


I burned 1 less calorie than Wednesday and I ended with burning 126  calories  in the last three minutes. My goal was 2100 I needed a 40 per minute average to reach the goal. I burned 126 , a 42 average which was insane!

 Hours Andrew, thank you  so much for getting back to us.
Our show airs from 8-10 pm on Friday Nights. It would be super  if Pat was available to speak to us live. However, another option would be for us to speak to him off air and then play a recording of the chat during the show. Andrew, at this point which is better a live chat  or a recorded chat.?

Thanks again.Got on the machine @ 4:30 pm burned 2000 calories in the hour. Highlight of the workout? Not much juice.

Going to sleep at 9:45 didn't help my energy level when I rose at 3:30am.

I like the workout done into twenty minute intervals.
The twenty minutes allows me to identify my pace on how many caloriesI am burning per minute which is in direct connection with how much effort I am putting into the workout at that time. My pace grew every step of the way.
35.5 calories a minute 
35.75 calories a minute
37.35 calories per minute
I love to make that huge push at the end and see if can beat yesterday's pace or how much I can beat the weekly highest number.
My overall pace for sixty minutes was 36.2 calories a minute.
Every time I do the workout the goal to break 2400 in an hour that 40 a minute.



The incredible push in the last 20 minutes in spite of all fatigue I was determined to burn 2100 in the hour. That meant I had to step up my pace mightily - in the first 40 minutes I burned 1370 calories. That was a 34.25 per minute calorie burn. In an effort to burn 2108 in 60 minutes I needed to burn 730 calories at a 36.5 pace.
That's what the workout is all about. Giving it your all to hit goal.

A very very spirited effort! Started with a 160 in first 5 minutes. Then, exploded to 2022 in the next 55 minutes.

 9 hours of work and a 1 hour and a half ride home.

In spite of working  driving for 1 hour and fifteen minutes then working 9 hours without a break.then, driving an hour and a forty minutes  I get more determined the longer it takes me to get my workout!
At this point,when I say and have been saying workout this what I am referring to.

An hour on the machine 
A five minute cool down
About 300 inclined crunches
Five minutes of stretching my shoulders
A short session of Tai Qui
Stretching on the PRECOR machine 
Stretching my back and groin and quad
 It takes about one and a half hour all total

Back at it : Up at 3:45 am on machine at 5:30 pm  Cybex arc trainer for an hour as I burned 2124 calories.Highlight of the workout? 
After starting with 1387 in first 40 minutes - 34.68 per minute average
I finished the last  20 by burning 737 calories Which got me back to beyond respectability with a  36.85 calorie per minute burn.in that 20 minutes twice I burned 42 calories per minute- which is off charts good!- that is 2520  per hour calorie pace.

It is exciting chasing a number. In a sense we are all chasing some number that represents what we did the day before.



Burned 748 calories in last  twenty minutes
36.9 per minute!


Burned 365 calories from  first 10 minutes to next 10 minutes of the work out.


Completing the workout as I worked 9 hours without a break.Got home walked Chili and fed her. Then headed to the gym.At the time I started my workout I had been awake 14 1/2 hours.

Started with a 1045 burn in first half hour. Over next 1 1/2 hours I burned 3184 calories an average of 35.3 calories per hour.
I had not done 2 hour workout in awhile. I had the day off and the fire in the belly( FITB ) so I enjoyed the double( W's).

Legs were heavy as yesterday I worked 11 1/2 hours and the gym was not open when I began and not opened when I ended work yesterday July Fourth.
Which resulted in a missed day of a hour cardio vascular workout. Although if the workout Gods would take working for 11 1/2 hours going from store to store in 50 mile radius with out a break and sustaining on a handful of almonds and a bunch grapes a suitable replacement. Then maybe just maybe it could be a justified workout. If not I understand. For Bookkeeping purposes - the numbers are the numbers.

Phenomenal !


Slow start 1007 in first 30 then a great push at the end 1073 burned in 30 = 35.76 per minute.

The steady climb of the calorie burn per minute, per hour.
Burned 728 in last twenty minutes. Averaged a 36.4 calorie burn in last 20.
As  the relative humidity has dropped in the area. However, today's humidity is expected to be lower.
 I am surprised that regardless of my strenuous exercising my weight has gone up. I am even more surprised regardless of my strict diet which consists of Fruits, Vegetables,Nuts( peanuts & salted almonds) brown rice, wheat wheat pasta and olive oil. Over the last three I have not had any white flour either. The other night I had vegetable fried rice. Which I understand is made with peanut oil. I will say as I get ready to start a new position. I have not been as active as I had in the past.
I hope a change in routine enables me to have more movement.



First twenty minutes  ( 675)burned 33.7 calories per minute total burn per hour 
Second twenty minutes ( 705) burned 35.4 calories per minute total burn per hour 34.5
Last twenty minutes  ( 736) burned 36.8 calories per minute
Total per hour burn?

I just kept pushing towards 2100 and gained momentum during the push.


Burned more  calories in back than in front of the 60 minutes of the workout out.

Know this, as of June 8, 2015 I have now done 147 two hour workouts since the streak 
began on February 23,2008. That is an average of 1.6 two hour workouts a month over the 87 months.


June 7,2015
Highlight of the workout? Did a 2040 in hour one. Finished with a 2069 calorie burn in the second hour! There is something magical about the two hour hard cardio workout.
I feel so blessed to be able to accomplish that workout. ⛪️☺️

 My legs were heavy today not sure why.
I burned 1702 calories after the first 50 minutes which a burn  pace of 34.04 calories a minute. By finishing with a total burn of 60 calories in an hour my pace was 33.85 calories burn per minute.



 Burned with a 370  calories from  the final 20 minutes to  the last 10 minutes. Equaling a 37 calorie burn per minute pace, which is a 2220 per hour pace. Unfortunately, I burned only 361 on the last 10 minutes. Even though I managed to burn 731 calories in the last 20 minutes I still, missed the coveted 2100 total.


Kept building on my calorie burns. 1st 20 minutes, 691 Next twenty 704 and finished with a 753 calorie burn in the last twenty minutes.  I just missed getting the magic number 2150.  As the weather remains cool and damp rainy workout.
Which as usual was capped off with incline crunches and some stretching and Tai Chi.As I fought like stink to get to 2150- just missed but I did burn 40 plus calories per burn for  three straight minutes!


In the last 2 minutes I burned 81 calories! Needed 150 in last 3 1/2 minutes. Got 140 which is a 40 per minute calorie burn.Wow! 
Went from a 35.9 per minute calorie burn to a 37.0 calorie burn per minute. To reach 2190  calorie burn.
You know you have had a great workout when:
The bag you brought into the gym with dry clothes and a dry towel is much  much heavier when you leave with wet clothes from your workout.

Went from a 675 calorie burn in first 20 minutes.
To a 1384 calorie burn after 40 minutes then to a 2131 calorie burn after an hour.
My pace went from 675/20 = 33.7 calorie burn per minute.
1384/ 40= 34. Calorie burn 34.6 per minute. 
2131/ 60 = Calorie burn 35.5 per minute. A 1.8 increase in calories burned per minute.
That may not sound like much of an increase but it took a great effort to pick up the pace. In the last 20 minutes I burned 746 calories that is 37.3 calories burn per minute.
Now, that is a 3.6 more calories more burned per minute. Had that pace continued I would have burned 2238 calories in the hour.


Quite the kick, was at 2067 after 59 minutes. Needed 33 in last minute to get 2100. Got 41. Which was an increase from 35 per minute to 41 calories burned per minute.
It all about the targets and whether or not you increased your quantifiable effort in the end. Then, how did you increase it? How hungry were you for that hour? 
The challenge above all else is to get fired up and staying there by remaining focused.



Mothers Day 2015
As much as I abhor missing a day of working out. I must come to grips with the reality.
The gym that I am a member of for a poultry fee does not accommodate people that wish to workout early in the morning on Saturdays and Sunday's 
I could have purchased my own equipment to do a workout.
So here I am at checkmate for the day.
I will use my extra 147 workouts to accommodate for today.
My body is in some duress but so be it. 
Temp hits  almost 80 degrees! Again it's been a good warm stretch of weather 
After waking at five forty five Saturday
morning on the ninth of May on machine at six fifty burned 2080 calories in an hour. Highlight of the workout?  Body was sore but felt better as I pursued the target of 2100.

Burned 2070 calories in one hour on the Cybex arc trainer. Decided  to pwear 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.

36.9 per minute!


Burned 365 calories from  first 10 minutes to next 10 minutes of the work out.


Completing the workout as I worked 9 hours without a break.Got home walked Chili and fed her. Then headed to the gym.At the time I started my workout I had been awake 14 1/2 hours.

Started with a 1045 burn in first half hour. Over next 1 1/2 hours I burned 3184 calories an average of 35.3 calories per hour.
I had not done 2 hour workout in awhile. I had the day off and the fire in the belly( FITB ) so I enjoyed the double( W's).

Legs were heavy as yesterday I worked 11 1/2 hours and the gym was not open when I began and not opened when I ended work yesterday July Fourth.
Which resulted in a missed day of a hour cardio vascular workout. Although if the workout Gods would take working for 11 1/2 hours going from store to store in 50 mile radius with out a break and sustaining on a handful of almonds and a bunch grapes a suitable replacement. Then maybe just maybe it could be a justified workout. If not I understand. For Bookkeeping purposes - the numbers are the numbers.

Phenomenal !

As  the relative humidity has dropped in the area. However, today's humidity is expected to be lower.
 I am surprised that regardless of my strenuous exercising my weight has gone up. I am even more surprised regardless of my strict diet which consists of Fruits, Vegetables,Nuts( peanuts & salted almonds) brown rice, wheat wheat pasta and olive oil. Over the last three I have not had any white flour either. The other night I had vegetable fried rice. Which I understand is made with peanut oil. I will say as I get ready to start a new position. I have not been as active as I had in the past.
I hope a change in routine enables me to have more movement.

 Burned with a 370  calories from  the final 20 minutes to  the last 10 minutes. Equaling a 37 calorie burn per minute pace, which is a 2220 per hour pace. Unfortunately, I burned only 361 on the last 10 minutes. Even though I managed to burn 731 calories in the last 20 minutes I still, missed the coveted 2100 total.


Kept building on my calorie burns. 1st 20 minutes, 691 Next twenty 704 and finished with a 753 calorie burn in the last twenty minutes.  I just missed getting the magic number 2150.  As the weather remains cool and damp rainy workout.
Which as usual was capped off with incline crunches and some stretching and Tai Chi.As I fought like stink to get to 2150- just missed but I did burn 40 plus calories per burn for  three straight minutes!


In the last 2 minutes I burned 81 calories! Needed 150 in last 3 1/2 minutes. Got 140 which is a 40 per minute calorie burn.Wow! 
Went from a 35.9 per minute calorie burn to a 37.0 calorie burn per minute. To reach 2190  calorie burn.
You know you have had a great workout when:
The bag you brought into the gym with dry clothes and a dry towel is much  much heavier when you leave with wet clothes from your workout.

Went from a 675 calorie burn in first 20 minutes.
To a 1384 calorie burn after 40 minutes then to a 2131 calorie burn after an hour.
My pace went from 675/20 = 33.7 calorie burn per minute.
1384/ 40= 34. Calorie burn 34.6 per minute. 
2131/ 60 = Calorie burn 35.5 per minute. A 1.8 increase in calories burned per minute.
That may not sound like much of an increase but it took a great effort to pick up the pace. In the last 20 minutes I burned 746 calories that is 37.3 calories burn per minute.
Now, that is a 3.6 more calories more burned per minute. Had that pace continued I would have burned 2238 calories in the hour.


Quite the kick, was at 2067 after 59 minutes. Needed 33 in last minute to get 2100. Got 41. Which was an increase from 35 per minute to 41 calories burned per minute.
It all about the targets and whether or not you increased your quantifiable effort in the end. Then, how did you increase it? How hungry were you for that hour? 
The challenge above all else is to get fired up and staying there by remaining focused.



Mothers Day 2015
As much as I abhor missing a day of working out. I must come to grips with the reality.
The gym that I am a member of for a poultry fee does not accommodate people that wish to workout early in the morning on Saturdays and Sunday's 
I could have purchased my own equipment to do a workout.
So here I am at checkmate for the day.
I will use my extra 147 workouts to accommodate for today.
My body is in some duress but so be it. 
Temp hits  almost 80 degrees! Again it's been a good warm stretch of weather 
After waking at five forty five Saturday
morning on the ninth of May on machine at six fifty burned 2080 calories in an hour. Highlight of the workout?  Body was sore but felt better as I pursued the target of 2100.

Burned 2070 calories in one hour on the Cybex arc trainer. Decided  to pwear 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.
