Wow! I forgot how crazy this workout is. Max Interval Plyo is a real butt kicker! I continue to incorporate some bicep weight training, and my arms now feel like wet noodles. And of course, I have band practice again tonight, and as a drummer, arms come in handy.
I felt beat up at the end. My body was done, just done, by the end. I burned 903 calories, with my heart rate peaking at 180 and averaging 151. Compared to yesterday, as you can see, the calorie counts are a bit down. This is to be expected because the focus of Plyometrics is less cardio and more explosive strength. Believe me, you still get up there, particularly with the Power Jumps (which are still a beast to do over and over). But still, I enjoyed the workout. Compared to Round 1, I was able to complete many more moves and at a faster pace. I was hating life after these two workouts last time around, but not so this time. They've been tough, but far more doable than before. That's a good feeling!
Ok, so what's so special about Feb 11, 2013? It's the first date I wore my heart monitor. While I didn't bring it to Asia, and sometimes I opt not to wear it, or forget to wear it, I still found some interesting statistics that I hadn't noticed before. It's been logging the duration, number of sessions, and total calories I've burned since that date almost exactly 4 months ago. So here you go...
Since Feb 11, 2013, for the sessions that I did wear my heart rate monitor I've completed the following:
- 70 hours, 21 minutes and 1 second of workouts
- 75 individual sessions
- 48,571 total calories burned
One of the interesting things I can calculate is, based on the 48,571 calories burned, I can calculate that since 1 pound equals approximately 3000 calories for me, if I divide 48,751 by 3000, I get 16. That means that I've worked off 16 pounds since February, regardless of my diet. In other words, if I ate 48,751 additional calories than I did, I would weigh the same that I weighed then, but I don't. I'm actually down around 30 pounds. This tells my I've lost about 16 pounds from working out, and another 14 pounds from eating right. That may not all be perfect since there are certainly other factors, but it's interesting to think about. So many people say getting fit is a balance between working out and eat right. Turns out they were right!
And yes, I just divulged my weight loss after all this time. I'm down 30 pounds since I started. Sometimes it's 33 pounds, sometimes 27. It fluctuates A LOT throughout the day and on any given day. In general I continue to lose about a pound a week, which is fine by me. Weight loss was never my primary driver (but I'll take it! Ha!)
Til tomorrow!
