Part of My “Preseason” is to evaluate where I am at, Tuesday tested out my upper body strength, technically it does not count, so next Tuesday I will try again.<\/p>\n
Yesterday I was too busy to hit the gym but I did hit the gym today and attempted a 1000 calorie workout.<\/p>\n
Wow, what a struggle, I felt like my chest was going to explode, it took me 40 minutes on the treadmill at 5MPH to burn 685 calories (there was an additional 5 minute cooldown) and 25 minutes (which included a 2 minute cooldown) that I burned 345 Calories on the elliptical.<\/p>\n
I started cramping towards the end of the elliptical workout so I knew I was closing in on my limits, but I was able to burn more than 1000 calories.\u00a0 It did take 1 hour and 10 minutes to get there.\u00a0 So here is my first goal (albiet unofficial), is to do 1000 calorie workouts with in an hour.<\/p>\n
That will require me to up the speed and increase incline for the treadmill as well as increase the RPM and difficulty level on the elliptical.<\/p>\n
I also continue to recruit people to run the 1\/2 marathon.\u00a0 It is almost time.<\/p>\n
As for my weight… I do hope I can keep it under 260, but I just checked last year and I ended it at 248.4.\u00a0 I probably will not match that this year, but it should not deter me… in fact it should inspire and challenge me.<\/p>\n
And that is a good sign.<\/p>\n
