Yesterday, Rob asked me about my workouts & my intensity level. So, tonight, I thought I would give an example of my daily exercise.
5:30 a.m.
I'm not too good at this, but I'd like to (and did today) start my morning off with my 30 situps and 15 pushups--and eventually my planks.
9 a.m.
This is my main cardio session. I usually start with the stationary bike. I'm now doing 12 minutes (an hour a week). And I try to do at least 3.5 miles. I try to be at about level 10-12
If I didn't do my planks, I do those here, as well as my muscle-building session (when I do them).
Next, I do the stairstepper (I need to do it early, becuase if I don't, I get too tired to hit my goal). On the stairstepper, I always do 10 minutes. More than that is too much for me. I used to try to hit 200 Calories. Then 300. But I decided to work on a different goal--one that wasn't Calorie based (since I would find it harder and harder to hit my goals as I lost weight). Now, I try to hit 100 floors a session.
If you look at the middle of the top row of numbers, you can see that I'm at 102 floors. Yikes!
Here's what the stairstepper looks like when I'm done with it. Please note the glistening case (just know that the case is regularly matte-finished. Yeah, that's sweat). And, yes, those are the sweat droplets on the floor. Good times.
Then it's on to my longest friend: the elliptial. I now do 12 minutes (an hour a week). And I use this a little to do cool down, but I also try to do some real work. At least 160 Calories (I need to find a better goal on the elliptical!). I usually alternate between level 13 and level 17.
And that's the end of my workout. And I usually look like this:
6 p.m.
Most days (or as often as I can), I wrap up my day with an evening walk/run. And I try to go at least 3 miles, and sometimes 5 (if I'm feeling that up to it):
And that's my typical workout. How do you push yourself?
