Up at 8am and a quick 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer to start the day followed by poached eggs on wholegrain toast (thanks wife!). Before I exercised I had a mug of coffee and some water. I upped the resistance level from 8 to 9 and found it pretty easy, could be the coffee or just my body is getting back into the routine following the holiday. I may try level 10 for my next morning workout.
This afternoon will either be taking out the pushbikes for a ride outdoors, or back to the indoor gym depending on weather and wife!
253 calories burnt on the machines this morning (3,356 month to date).
Lunch was tuna salad (home made with no mayo, plenty of bell pepper/capsicum, kidney beans, cucumber). Afternoon snack was a yoghurt and some dried almonds. Dinner will be my wife's fantastic home made Sweet Potato soup... simply the best (both the wife and the soup!)
Afternoon Update:
I tried out the first P90X workout, 1 hour with the Chest and Back. Have to say it was a killer workout for me, could really feel it in my muscles so from this one hour experiment I'd give P90X a thumbs up as a good workout regime that will get results. The pullup bar was a good addition so will monitor my improvements over the coming weeks. I haven't included any calories being burnt in order to keep my monitoring consistent.
An additional 20 minutes on the elliptical and 30 minutes on the recumbent bike closed of the day.
488 calories burnt on the machines this afternoon (3,844 month to date).
Progress seems to be good today, upped the levels on both the elliptical (level 9 Sprint 8 - may try level 10 this coming week) and the recumbent bike - custom Interval program switched from levels 3/7 to 5/8. Let's take it to the next level!
