Today, I am resting my body. It is important to give your body time to recover. CrossFit is a very intense workout and between that and running, my muscles definitely can use some R&R.
For good measure, I am monitoring calorie burn today. The idea is to get as many data points as possible.
I started wearing the waistband at about 9:45am so I will have it on until about 7:45pm.
At 4:10pm, burned 1420kcal
At 7:45pm (10 hours) burned 1954kcal (195kcal per hour)

A healthy, fit woman with average to slightly above-average athleticism. I have worked out all my life, I have run at least 1 half marathon a year, and I workout at least 2-3 times per week. I recently started CrossFit, and I have been monitoring my caloric burn. This blog will track and compare the caloric burn between Crossfit, bootcamp, running, resting, and weight-lifting. Good luck LA Fitness!

Day 4 - Crossfit WOD
Today's workout:
Seven rounds of:
35 Double-unders
1 Snatch
I did this in 13:10 with total weight 434 (62 lb per snatch).At the end of this I burned 290kcal.
Post WOD was deadlifts
5 rounds 5 reps @ 50% (85 lbs)
5 rounds 3 reps @ 70% (135 lbs)
5 rounds 1 reps @ 90% (185 lbs Failed)
Check out the Fitness Battalion CrossFit blog to see more details.
After this which 15 min later, I burned 450kcal. (11:30am)
After 10 hours I only burned 2456kcal.
What did I eat before and after?
I woke up late so I skipped breakfast. Bad move because I could tell I was running out of fuel. I did drink some water mixed with Jack3d. Wonder if this changes calorie burn and how much it improves the workout? Maybe I will do 1 of of Jack 3d next week in bootcamp to compare.
For lunch I had tuna and crackers.

Day 3 - CrossFit WOD
Had two days rest on tues and wed so I'm back at my week of CrossFit. I tried to measure my rest day calorie burn but it didn't work out so well because I didn't get good contact on the waist belt. (It needs a little sweat to make a good connection.)
Here's the workout.
For time: Run 1 mile (big loop + small loop)
Check out the Fitness Battalion CrossFit blog to see more details.
Today I burned 350kcal in crossfit after 55 min.
1 mile run (8min 42sec),
Post WOD:
50 partner pushups,
50 partner ball situps,
50 partner lunges (15lbs),
25 bear complexes (squat clean, thrusters, back thrusters).
Time for post wod ~12min.
At 12:46pm (20 min later) my burn was at 416kcal. That's another 66kcal post workout! Whoa!
Let's see what it is after a few hours.
In 10 hours I burned 2340kcal.
What did I eat before and after?
I had Kashi Heart-to-heart with Almond Milk before the workout.
I was bad and had 3 fried chicken wings from Popeyes with mashed potatoes afterward.
