Alright, so yesterday I went to the gym and spent an hour or so doing upper and lower body strengthening exercises. Today I am sore, but all is good!
Today I went to the gym and did 30 minutes of cardio, 15 on the bike and 15 on the treadmill. I did manage to run about 8 minutes of that 15, averaging a little over a mile when all said and done. Yeah me. I also swept and mopped the whole downstairs of our house, which consists of a dinning room, family room/breakfast nook/kitchen combo, and the bath room. I worked up about the same amount of sweat doing that as I do at the gym! I wonder how many calories one burns sweeping and mopping?
What I really don't like about exercising is that I go to the gym, and burn about 200-220 calories doing cardio, I work out in the morning, then I come home and eat lunch, have a snack and then eat supper. To me it seems almost pointless to go to the gym. I burn calories just to replace them later, what??? Okay, okay, I know though that you look at is as if you are burning the bad calories, fat, and then if you eat right you are just replacing the nutritious calories that your body needs. Am I right? LOL, anyway, the other plus is that cardio is good for your heart and seeing how high blood pressure runs in my family along with heart disease, working out is a good thing!!!!
Tonight I am trying a recipe for blacked Tilapia! Sounds good, but we will soon see.
Tomorrow is Saturday, I am taking the weekend off from the gym, I may try to fit in a family walk on Saturday, we will see, if not I am not going to sweet over it. Monday I will start all over again, I have a meeting with a personal trainer Monday morning so I will get some good tips. Our gym lets you have 3 free days with a personal trainer so I am going to take advantage of that!
Have a good weekend!
