23 Feb-ulous

Yesterday was yet another day at the gym. I burned 200 calories on the cybex machine after doing 30 minutes of calisthenics and 12 minute kettle bell circuits. Wednesday wasn't the longest time I spent at the gym, but I daresay I pushed myself pretty well for the time I allotted.

Listening while Cardio-ing

Today, I am just going to yoga it up. I didn't get to eat much today, so I am having to slowly cram food into my stomach that isn't snack food full of delicious, tasty fatsuh...

Listening while Yogafiying

All in all, remaining under 1700 calories and burning at least 400 every day I work out. Which happens to be almost every fricking wonderful day :) Stay classy readers...

Attacking the Gym!!!!

Listening to Attack Attack discography during the workout...

Alright, here is the update for what I did the past two days at the gym:
~~08 FEB 2012~~
*Treadmill 17 minutes at 3.0 incline 5.5mph--187 calories
*Abdominal machine
**50lb for 20reps on the three sides; 65lb 15reps per side; 80 lb 10 reps per side
*Dips on Gravitron 125lb 20 reps, 110lb for 15 reps, 95 for 10 reps
             ^^Calethinics 64 calories (No breaks in reps, straight into next set)
*Cycling 20 min medium resistance--151 calories
             Walked outside for 15 minutes & that burns 52 calories (including distance, incline &   speed)

 The burning total is 454 calories.  I checked and calculated and did all that I have done to make sure I did the specific calculations right, and this is what I came up with.  They say don't trust the reader on the machines, so just double, triple check if you are paranoid like me.  All in all 450 calories is very nice.

All I know is I burned over 500 calories at the gym. My mind stopped counting as soon as this monster tuna sandwich hit my mouth.

Yoga Meditation--my way

I am not all about the soundwaves of whales and indian flute players piping away....UNLESS DUBSTEPPED. However, I tend to like trip hop type music when yoga'ing out.

 

Musical Chairs for Cardio??!!!

LMFAO Sexy and I Know It has a hilarity to it that can beat the mental drain focusing on those last few minutes of running, but overall I like to stick to my guns....all 36GB of them.

I don't lift weights with the same music as cardio simply because I do not want my whole body to explode and create a rapture at the gym. My cardio regimen has to be set at a heavier, faster beat than my weightlifting and circuit training and yoga. Just try to do Yoga listening to DMX, it just doesn't turn out right...


Cardio:

Three Days Grace

Static X

Five Finger Death Punch

Killswitch Engage

Chevelle

Nightwish   
I have also recently found out that listening to Ladytron discography definitely keeps me mentally amused while my body is going under self destruction on the elliptical.

What Have I DONE??!!

Yo peeps, brosephs, chikabees, how's it going?

Okay, enough of that.  Here's some updates on what I have been doing today. 

Today I ate some tuna salad wraps using lettuce, a black bean and salsa wrap, some pancakes, some carrots, some salad and a protein shake which tallies all up to 1670 calories for today.
However, I managed to burn over 500 calories at the gym.  My cardio workout alone busted out 480 calories, then I did circuits for 10 min and core workout as well.  Twas a hard evening at the gym, that's for sure.
Aside from managing, editing, and planning out the blog, I have decided to branch out and make interactive motivation boards.  I have some extra cardboard, construction paper and old work out mags...so why not go to town??

I figured I have kept you folks waiting for FAR TOO LONG and all are in dire need of a Shooglenifty fix.  Well, here ya go and enjoy!!!  Try not to jig out of your chair.  It tends to happen.
