Tuesday Workout

Cardio:  Elliptical

Time taken = 60  minutes

Calories burnt = 733

Distance covered = 6.24 miles

Wednesday Workout

Started this evening with crunches - 15 sets of 20 crunches each, for a total of 300 crunches.  That's a recent high.

Cardio - Elliptical:

Time taken = 2 hours (120 minutes)

Distance covered = 13.32 miles

Calories burnt = 1,564

These were new highs for me in terms of pacing (both distance and calories burnt), specially for a 2-hour period.

Weights - Shoulders:

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

I'm getting fitter - this was a tough workout, coming the day after a 2,000 calorie/ 3 hrs and 17 minute cardio workout.  Or perhaps its the fact that I had a good basketball game (Lakers-Warriors) to watch while on the elliptical machine, which kept me from getting bored.

Tuesday Workouts - With Some New Personal Bests

Started in the morning with crunches:

7 sets of 20 crunches each, for a total of 140 crunches

Cardio in the evening:  Elliptical machine.  Lots of new highs for me for the Elliptical.

Time taken = 3 hours and 17 minutes  (197 minutes)  - a new high

Calories burnt = 2,059  - a new high

Distance covered =  17.82 miles  - a new high

Sunday Workout

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

Cardio:

Elliptical:

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

Weights:

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

Triceps - 4 exercises of 4 sets each, total of 16 sets

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

A New High

This Monday, November 24, my blogs hit a  new milestone - 1,240 visits.  Woohoo! 

Normally, between them, my blogs get around 500 visits/day, so this is a nice new rise.

This occasion calls for a random photo - how about one from Kosmix' 2007 holiday party.  Nagraj and Sailesh are flanking me.
