Cardio Day

First off again I totally forgot about my stats and I remembered after I ate LOL, no point taking weight and measurements after eating and feeling full LOL.

Today was a cardio day and at the moment I am trying to just use the machines at work in order to give my muscles a chance to do something different and feel sore. I will say that I woke up this morning with my abs, chest and back all sore, also for some reason my biceps are a bit sore, and they are all still pretty sore. My abs hurt if I cough, sneeze or laugh LOL *OUCH!*, but hey it’s a good thing to have a sore feeling, something is happening and that is what I wanted.

Today I decided to run on the treadmill. Last time I did 35min and I had a peak speed of 11k/h, I decided that if I lowered that speed a bit, I would be able to last longer, so I ran at 10k and did it for 45min, and yes the last 5min are cool down. In that time as per the machine, I ran 6.38km and burnt 438.2 calories. I had to use the one that has issues reading the heart rate because the good one was taken. This time I did not get any readings of my heart rate so I can’t say how high or low it was. I will say that I really do need a heart rate monitor to find out on my own what I am really burning. But I will also say I did not expect to last 45min and run 6.38k, that was totally awesome for sure.

Tomorrow, following the classic P90X I have shoulders and arms, I will see what I can change, I mean this is all using dumbbells, but I may want to use the larger bar for my biceps, there is also a bench there it holds your arms like in Full Supination Concentration Curl, except that I am sitting down instead of standing and I can use both arms at the same time. We will see how it goes, if I have time during work I will look and see what I can modify as I want to life heavy and properly too.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
