Fitness for the Day – Feb 18th 2008

bicycle

It didn’t take long for me to break the 1000 Calorie burn mark, as a matter of fact it took me 48 minutes and 21 seconds to cover 12.7 miles which burned 1001 Calories on my bicycle at an incline/intensity level of 12.

While riding for the 48 minutes, I have added another item to my wishlist for fitness equipment related to cycline.

1) Polar F11

2) A new more comfortable seat for the bicycle.

Given that it only took 48 minutes to reach the 1K mark, I’ll keep doing it consistently and we’ll see where I end up in a few weeks.

Fitness for the Day – Feb 17th 2008

I never actually got around to changing how the blog works, but I will eventually. When I do, you’ll all see it happen.

I decided to work out earlier than usual on Sunday, mainly because I became frustrated over my Fuel Cells problem set. I did some stretching and cycled for 44 minutes coviner 11.41 miles and burning 900 Calories. My pulse rate peaked at 145bpm. I still want to get a portable pulse monitor, similar. The Polar F-11 would be sweet.

This workout is probably one of my longest and I didn’t feel sore afterwards. I’m going to break the 1K Calorie mark this week and see what happens to the computer. My guess is that it will reset, but we’ll see.
