EntriesFitness for the Day – Feb 10th 2008
I missed my work out yesterday because I was downtown all morning and afternoon working on MIE443 (Mechanical Design: System and Integration) project. This afternoon’s workout last about 50 minutes. I did a few minutes of stretching to loosen up followed by 30 minutes and 2 seconds of bicycling where I covered 7.9 miles and burned 623 Calories. Instead of using the typical ear clip to monitor my pulse rate, I held onto the handle bars which have their own pulse sensor. To my surprise, it was reading in the 130-140bpm range, making that number far more realistic than the 80-110 I was getting from the ear clip. Word of advice, use the stationary monitor instead of the mobile, or get a real one what straps to your chest and reports to a watch. Following my bicycle ride I went through a portion of the Ab-Ripper X and did a little more stretching to loosen up afterwards.
