Rupe's Year of the Body: Day 30

This is equivalent to Day 15 on Lambada program and Day 30 on the “Path” . Today was crazy…major distance and huge caloric burn in an hour…this is typical of a 90min session for me, but the body was on today. Now, the downside – really lousy sleeping last night working on finances…only 2.5 hours…sorry…will hit the rock early tonite…promise.

Workout: Day 30 (64 mins) – Pure Cardio
– Elliptical: 60 mins
– Distance: 9.0 miles
– Calories: 1210 (Ouch!…steaming for an hour!)
– Push ups: 245 (that’s a lot of push ups – 120 during workout and 125 over 10 hour period at work)

Tracker
Total Distance: 105.65miles (Goal 200/94.35 remain)
Total Calories: 21,870 (Goal 40,000/18,130 remain)
Total Jumps: 2200
Total ups: 245

Good livin’…keep movin’!

Rupe's Year of the Body: Day 29

Off Day: Day of total rest…used it to catch up on a bunch of stuff. Was gonna press on Lambada without a break, but thought otherwise. I am pretty much on course right now, but that doesn’t mean anytime for taking a break, coming week will be a push…really looking forward to working out, now that the cold is completely gone. Falling back on my sleep a bit, have to do better there; my eating on the other hand is doing quite well.

“Good livin’…keep movin!”

Rupe's Year of the Body: Day 27

This is equivalent to Day 13 on program on the Lambada Program; Day 27 on the “Path”.  Another good workout day, almost no effects of the cold…body is getting back to normal.  I feel as though muscle density is increasing, but waist layer is proving a big more stubborn.  Since you can’t target, I will just have to continue overall conditioning.
