July 27th 2010 Daily Update

Morning

Weigh in - 77.1kg 20.5% body fat. Maybe I'll hit the 76.x kg this week. Continue to be a little concerned on the morning body fat % not reducing although a couple of mornings it has come in at 20.0%.

I'm now including reverse direction as part of the morning workout on the elliptical to provide more variety to my muscles. Reverse direction is harder, I find I need to lean forward more to reach the upper body handles and also I'm not going so quick (rpms) as shown by the 187 kcal machine reading. However my HRM heart rate and kcals are indicating this workout is pushing me as much as the forward direction which typically hits around 220 to 240 kcal on the machine.

  • Sprint 8 elliptical reverse = 187 kcal (277 kcal, 148/159bpm, 00:45, 12:39, 06:46
  • Jump Rope
Evening

My second go at Plyometrics. I did a better attempt this time and it will be interesting to see if I am as sore tomorrow as last time when I could hardly walk. As an update from yesterday's Chest & Back my left bicep is a little sore, however that is all so compared to last time a big improvement!
  • P90X Plyometrics (737 kcal, 142/164bpm, 10:14, 31:26, 16:40)
Considering how intense the Plyometrics was I skipped my evening Sprint 8. Of all the P90X sessions so far where I've had the HRM the Plyometrics has easily burnt the most calories.

Summary

187 kcal on the machines (11,235 month to date)
1014 kcal total recorded on HRM
