Day 14 - 3 mile jog on the treadmill

Today I decided to take it easy and do a run on the treadmill.  I have a 10k and a half marathon to prepare for in the coming months, so I need to get my runs in when I can.

I did a slow 3 miles today at about 33 minutes.  I burned 367kcal in that 33 minute jog.  I started at about noon today.

At 2pm - 787kcal burned
After 10 hours - 1763kcal burned

Day 13 - La Fitness Lower Body & Core

Today is the first day of working out in the gym with my usual workout.  I will call it the Xavier Full Body Rotational Workout.  With Xavier's workout, he focuses on certain body parts each visit to the gym.  Today was legs, latissimus dorsi (aka lats or back), and abs.  This workout took 1 hour and we started at 11:55am.  We burned 330kcal after the first hour.

Day 12 - 2.2 mile jog (after 7 days vaation)

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.

Day 11 - Bootcamp @ 6:30am

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.
