July 21st 2010 Daily Update

Morning

  • 25 mins elliptical = 300 kcal (369 kcal, 146/162bpm, 05:09, 03:55, 16:40)


Evening

The evening exercise was carried out back at home as I've been in Washington DC the last few days. Good to get back to my own gym equipment as the hotel gyms are hit or miss in terms of quality and quantity of machines/weights. Tonight's session saw me break the 9,000 kcal barrier for the month. Less than 3,000 kcal to go this month to hit my 12,000 kcal target.
  • P90X Chest, Shoulders & Triceps + Ab Ripper X (422 kcal, 109/149bpm, 66:41, 02:06, 00:00)
  • Sprint 8 elliptical = 242 kcal (287 kcal, 150/167bpm, 00:40, 10:19, 09:22
Summary

542 kcal on the machines (9234 month to date).
1078 kcal total recorded on HRM

I've adjusted the Heart Rate Monitor so that my max heart rate is 190 rather than 220-age. We'll see if this increases the accuracy once I re-run the fitness test.

I won't typically post the Heart Rate Details for the P90X however for the session this evening my heart rate was 109 bpm average with 149 bpm max and 422 kcal burnt. Even with the Heart Rate monitor likely having the kcals 15% high, it still shows the body is being worked. Alas I was too weak to complete many of the exercises (many variations of press-ups for example). As a reminder the kcals burnt by exercises not on the elliptical trainer or recumbent bike do not count to my monthly or yearly targets and are not included in any of the totals shown.
