Day 40......body weight and cardio moves...

I weigh myself several times throughout the day (to get a good average of my weight, and body fat/water %), and during the last 3 days, I have noticed that my weight appears to have stabilized at 191.8lbs (5 out of 8 times). Don't know if this means anything yet, but I'll keep watching it since it is kinda interesting to me in a geeky kind of way. :o)

23 Feb 07: Day 40
On a couple of occasions, I have had to really focus on finishing my 45 minute sessions, not because they are physically demanding, but because they are sooooo long and boring! Today, my 45 minute cardio session seemed easy and quick! I had some really interesting material to read, and once again, it made all the difference!

Besides reading, I like to change up the speed and add variety to my movements while striding on my cross-trainer.

Some, examples what I do on my cross-trainer include.....

Boxing: which include upper cuts, hooks, jabs, one-twos, 3 punch combos, and speed bag (I rotate my fists around each other, simulating hitting a speed bag)
Leans: I lean forward, backward and side to side
Bobs: I bob up and down
Raves: I move my hands and sometimes my body in sync to trance or techno music (hard to describe unless you have been to a rave or techno dance club).

Now, all these extra movements can be awkward to do, but that can mean extra calories burned, as well as fun and variety to your workouts! Remember, always try to make your workouts fun and interesting but never at the cost of your safety or health!

Tomorrow, I'll do my final resistance training routine (LEG/ABS) for the week and then finish off with a cardio session and review of the week on Sunday!

Hopefully, you haven't missed any of your workouts this week, and if you have, don't give up for the week. Just look at it as an extra recovery day, and finish up the week strong!

Until, next time.....Keep getting it done!
