My neck was killing me this morning but as the day progressed I could feel it getting better.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, I did work out and was able to burn 1100 calories based on the treadmill and elliptical.<\/p>\n
So I want to take a look at my cardio burning.\u00a0 I will exclude my weight training and the calories my supplements add to my diet.<\/p>\n
The goal: lose 15 lbs in 10 weeks.<\/p>\n
In order to achieve this, I will need to burn 750 calories in excess of what I consume a day.<\/p>\n
My BMR for my dimensions, sex, and age is about 2200, and I will use this number during these 10 weeks just to make things simple.\u00a0 Assume I consume 2000 calories per day, that will mean I would have a free 200 calories per day.<\/p>\n
What kind of workout will I need to do to burn 550 calories?<\/p>\n
On Sunday, I do 1 hour of what I believe is hatha yoga, that burns about 290 calories

Thing is Sunday is considered a rest day, but I think the exercises during the week will make up this shortfall anyway.<\/p>\n
I looked it up an I burn about 200 calories per mile I run, and I think I burn 100 calories walking 1 mile. So my 5k run on Mondays does fulfill my 550 calorie count because I run over 3 miles and walking 1 mile so that should be 700 calories.\u00a0 This almost makes up for the Sunday shortfall<\/p>\n
On Tuesdays it is supposed to be a 2 lap morning run.\u00a0 That should get me close to 400, but in the afternoon I do run 15 minutes on the treadmill and 17 minutes on the elliptical which burns another 450 calories.<\/p>\n
On Wednesdays it is simple, 1000 calorie workout.<\/p>\n
Thursday, its a 1 mile run and 1 mile walk which is 300 calories.<\/p>\n
Friday is normally another similar workout to Tuesday burning 850 calories.<\/p>\n
Saturday is a Four Plus, that burns 800 calories.<\/p>\n
So to add it up<\/p>\n
Total: 4790<\/p>\n
So I made it cause I have burn 3850, in fact I can eat my BMR and still make it.<\/p>\n
Doesn’t seem so bad.\u00a0 Time to do it.<\/p>\n
