First weekday with BodyBugg. It’s going to be a low burn day. A quarter till 10pm and I’m just over 1600 calories for the day. I had wanted to get out for a walk but I get busy with my book and the hours fly by! I got my sleep all screwed up by staying up till after 2am last night.
I estimate that my routine of 600 for the kettlebell swings challenge accounted for about 100 calories total. My top per-minute burn was 4. I did not get an accurate reading as I forgot to reset my display before starting the routine. I’m watching my per minute afterburn right now slowly declining through 3 and tenths.
My heart rate reached 165. As I write this now I’m at 61. I can barely get my breath going too hard anymore except when I swing the 65lb-er. My legs start to tire but my breath goes on and on.
I added another new twist–I swung two quarter pounders! It was a little tough! Got all three weights in there, mixing in the 65lbs and the 40lbs through the whole kettlebell swings routine.
I MUST get out for a good long walk tomorrow. It’s supposed to be in the FIFTIES!!! Actually I have an evil plan for myself. I am low on printer paper. Staples is having a big sale. I figured I’d bring two large shopping bags with big straps and carry it all home. I’ll walk home along a bus route if it gets too tough. It’s about 1-3/4 miles to walk home. Think I can make it carrying 50lbs??!!! I’ll let you know! I will compare my calorie burn for the walk there and how it changes for the walk home.
