How a 250+ Pound Couch Potato Got Healthy

Wednesday, December 19, 2007

Well this morning I was back at 162. Per Metabolic Adjustment, I should really have a protein dinner, but doggone it, I want stroganoff! Maybe I'll just go with it and see how I am in the morning.

The workout went great today, I was quite pleased.

Today's workout:
Warmup, Circuit of 30 seconds each exercise, 3 sets
* Jumping Jack
* Split Jack
* Prisoner Squat
* Alternating Lunge
* Mountain Climber

Workout, alternating supersets of 2
* Elevated Heels High Bar Squat, 135lbs, 3 sets of 10 (heels elevated on 10lb weights)
* Exercise Ball Back Extension, 25lbs, 3 sets of 10 (alternate for weighted back extension)
* Wide Grip Barbell Curl, 70lbs on bar, 3 sets of 10
* Incline Dumbbell Triceps Extension, 25lb dubbells, 2 sets of 10, 1 set of 6
35 minutes, 287 calories burned

After the weights I jogged 2.5 miles in 25 minutes, that's 6mph! I just wish I was consistent. At any rate, towards the end I started running faster to make it at 25 minutes. It was 25:02, so that last push helped. 301 calories burned.
