Forty minutes 681 calories later, I am definitely exhausted! This time was much better in terms of "holding it together," but obviously I still have some room for growth. Globe jumps are still the bane of my existence in this workout, but I am going at them with the best possible form and attitude I can have. Pulse rate is more normal for me at 180-182 during the exercise, and recovery time is improving slightly. Did a much better job of keeping the core tight and using my abdominal muscles to move my knees and legs. I really wanna have a tummy that you can bounce a quarter off of when this is all done!
Although this was "cheat day" according to Mr. Page's zig-zag meal plan, I still ate pretty conservatively. My only indulgences were a yatsuhashi and two of those 100-calorie packs of Special K wafers. I also took thirty minutes to walk on the treadmill... and it was just a walk, no faster than 3,5 mph. That actually felt pretty good and kept me from wanting my nap around 3pm. Also burned 200 calories doing that!
Now, I have already talked twice about howe many calories I burned today, and needless to say I am doing some math so that I can eventually set some goals. However, I need to remember that this is supposed to be for fun and for fitness. I hope that will also keep me in check as I continue to work on this.
