Day 7 - Sedentary Day (A Little R&R)

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)

Double unders


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.

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.)
