Hey all,
I apologize for not recording my workout last Thursday. I had 3 tests this past week and a take home exam due Monday so I have been spending my time either studying for the tests or recovering from lack of sleep. I'm going to kill two birds with one stone and explain my Thursday workout as well as today's.
(2/24) Thursday.....Emily (my trainer) and I were joined by Michelle. Michelle is really working hard to loose weight and the progress is really showing in both her weight loss and her stamina when we jog. We walked for about three minutes before we had a three minute jog. The pace I jogged at during that time averaged for to the pace of 1 mile every 8 minutes. We then walked for 90 seconds. Then we jogged for 5 minutes and I averaged a pace of 1 mile every 8 minutes and 20 seconds. We then did a cool down walk for 3 minutes. We did that routine once more where I averaged an 8 minute mile for the 2nd 3 minute time period and then a mile every 8 minutes and 45 seconds for my final time. I felt fairly good when we were doing our cool down walk and our stretching.
(3/1) This past weekend I got caught up on a lot of sleep and had hip pains so I didn't get a work out in, but we made up for that today. I had my first treadmill workout with Emily at the UNI Wellness & Recreation Center (no Michelle today) I started out walking for 5 minutes and the jogged at a .5 incline for 8 minutes with Emily increasing the speed every minute or two. I felt pretty good. We then did a cool down walk for 5 minutes and then one more 8 minute jog that we started at a higher speed. We then slowly did a cool down jog/walk and finished by walking a lap on the track....so I thought. She then had me do ab exercises that kicked my butt. We were working with medicine balls and doing slow bicycler crunches and all sorts of stuff. My legs felt like jelly after we finished and were doing our stretches. However, my abs felt fine although I could tell that I had worked them. I hope we do those often because I'd really like to have six pack abs and I don't do a good job of developing them. Have a great night everyone.
-Brian
