Let's see how the day goes.
3 hours later - 1188 kcal
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!
Just got back from a short vacation, so back to the experiment.
Today @ ~3pm I did a 2.2 mile run around Grant Park. I should do better and do these runs in the morning or late afternoon. Its hard to give 100% at 90+ degrees.
Burned 269kcal after 22 minute run.
After 10 hours (1am) I burned 1930kcal.
I took a 6pm bootcamp 2 days ago and burned about 250kcal. My hunch is that because it was 91 degrees out, I was too hot to exert my best effort. In order to do this experiment justice, I have decided to measue bootcamp based on the 6:30am class.
The challege is waking up this early! Wish me luck!
In todays class I was 10 minutes late, so hit the park and ran to the group. I started the watch at this point. We did 20 minute AMRAP of hate makers (3 rounds of 5 push ups, 20 mountan climbers, and 1 jump and clap), 3 suicide up hill runs, incline situps, twisting squat jumps (360 degree turn into next squat), and pelvic thrust (the naughty 80s move). We ended with 2 minutes of scissor kicks and stretching.
After the workout I burned 350kcal (30 minutes). By 7:30am I burned 450kcal. Let's see what happens all day!
At 9:30 burned 725kcal
At 10:30 burned 980kcal
At 11:30 burner 1130kcal
After 10 hours I burned 1850kcal.
I ran 2.5 miles today. This burned 390kcal.
I burned ~1500kcal after 10 hours.
