Snow workout

j0hndeath@hotmail.com's picture

So yesterday I had a scheduled overage on caloric intake. I basically matched my basic metabolic rate of calories burned. I wanted some nachos and decided to have some. No fat cheese, salsa, blue corn chips and 97% lean ground beef with some spice. Oh, and a tablespoon of no fat sour cream. Overall was in balance for a high carb day.

Today I am on track with food and plan to come in right on in calories taken in.

Had a snow day work out. I shoveled heavy wet snow for over an hour. Steady pace, scooping the largest amount of snow I could move per shovel full. Broke a good sweat that makes you want to take off your coat, but I know better so I just kept on sweating with the coat and hat on. Funny it turned out to be basically bicep, back, legs that got the work out.

When You Do Not Want to Do it, Do It

Today I really was not very motivated for any workouts but I packed my bag and got moving.

* 40 min treadmill (5.6km/h incline 2.5 With acouple of 30 sec at 7.5 thrown in)
* 22 min of Strength (Leg press 12x165/175/185/185kg) and Toe raises on Leg press machine on 105kg: 2 sets of 12) + Stretches
* 10 min Row Machine (level 10, 1700m)

Then the Gym closed so I found my trusted Snowy Forest Road and followed it far into the woods for 1h 22 min at quite a good speed 2/3 of the way. The last bit was on a lower "gear". Lovely Trip. I only met a tractor and not a single car.

Stiff and Sore? YEPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
