A bit of a wimpy workout for a weekend, today.

Time spent = 60 minutes

Calories burnt = 653

Distance covered = 5.62 miles

Biking:

Time spent = 51 minutes

Calories burnt = 349

Distance covered = 12.39 miles

Total calories burnt between the two = 1,002

Total = 32 sets of weights

Wednesday Workout - Another Personal Best

Wednesday, I decided to push for burning a higher number of calories in my cardio workout.  I went on the elliptical, then switched to the bike, then returned to the elliptical again.  So there were some nice breaks in the middle.

Elliptical Total:

Time spent = 157 minutes (2 hours and 37 minutes)

Calories burnt = 1,700 calories

Distance covered = 14.73 miles

Biking:

Time spent = 52 minutes

Calories burnt = 300 calories

Distance covered = 11.73 miles

So, between the two, I burnt a total of 2,000 calories.  That's easily my new personal best, for one workout session.

I wasn't too tired, but did feel sore.  This workout isn't sustainable, of course - I can't find this much time on a normal day.  I didn't even get to weights.  But the true test of my continuing fitness that I'm looking forward to - working out again today.

Saturday Workout - Some Personal Bests

I set some personal bests this Saturday.  Woohoo!

Cardio: Elliptical

Time = 158 minutes (2 hours and 38 minutes) - personal best

Distance = 15.02 miles - personal best

Calories burnt = 1,745 - personal best

Weights:

Biceps - 4 exercises of 4 sets each, for a total of 16 sets

Triceps - 4 exercises of 4 sets each, for a total of 16 sets.

So a total of 32 sets of arms. 

I was tired, and kept dozing off during the Federer - Nadal Australian Open Finals match.

Increased Page Rank

This blog,  Capoeirista  has a Page Rank = 2 now, an increase of 1 

PR increase is a painful process.

Cardio Thursday

Thursday evening, to give hurting wrist a rest, I didn't do weights.  Only cardio on the elliptical machine - 50 minutes, 500 calories.
