July 14th 2010 Daily Update

Muscles still a little sore all over however kicked of the morning with the elliptical. Likely to do P90X Kenpo tonight.

Morning:

  • Sprint 8 elliptical = 233 kcal (309 kcal, 150/167bpm, 00:33, 03:16, 16:30)

Wore my heart rate monitor watch today to compare its readings to the machine. The Calories were way out, showed as 309kcals. This is likely to be due to not finishing setting up the watch with my stats. My main reason for wearing the watch is to get some better stats on the heart rate.

So the majority of my work out is in Zone 3 which matches my target. The Zone 1 & 2 will predominantly be the warm up and cool down which is built into the 20 minute Sprint 8 program.

Evening:

Tried the Kenpo X routine of P90X. This is a 60 minute long work out of kicks, blocks and punches. The chance to be Jet Li or Jacki Chan! Alas my coordination was pretty poor so what should have been an intensive work out was far less intensive than it should have been. I'll improve with practice.. (Avg HR: 121, Max HR:153)

Followed the Kenpo X with pushing myself that little bit extra on the elliptical. (Avg HR 150, Max HR 168).
  • P90X - Kenpo X (561 kcal, 121/153bpm, 34:47, 23:08, 01:53)
  • Sprint 8 elliptical = 254 kcal (309 kcal, 150/168bpm, 00:37, 03:50, 15:58)
Summary

487 kcals on the machines (5214 month to date).
1179 kcal total recorded on HRM

Spent the day still feeling the muscle soreness from Sunday's and Monday's Kenpo X work out, I'm hoping my body is adapting and by the end of July I'll not be feeling the Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS).

Nutrition:

All Bran with blueberries for breakfast
Almonds, broccoli and carrots for snacks
Tuna, cucumber and peppers/capsicum for lunch
Yoghurt for afternoon snack
Sweet potato soup for dinner
