I had a great night of sleep and woke up feeling refreshed! Love when that happens. I immediately thought of what my morning "booty call" workout was going to be and decided to go on a run. I have the Couch to 10k app on my iPhone and I love it. I did 'Week 2 Day 3' of the program today and really enjoyed it. My mom tagged along with me which made me happy! It was a foggy morning but it was nice and cool out. I wear a Polar FT4 watch which comes with a heart monitor so it tells me how many calories I'm burning and what my heart rate is. On my jog/walk I burned 375 calories and once I got back home I stretched then decided to do a 30 minute NTC (Nike Training Club-iPhone app) work out so I could reach my goal of burning over 500 calories a day! I chose the '30 minute Conditioning Corps' workout and loved it. I checked my Polar watch and I burned 272 calories doing that! I took it a little easy today since I've decided starting next week my rest days are going to be Sundays. Since I've started this daily goal of burning 500 or more calories a day, my workouts have really stepped it up and I love it. I need a rest day so my muscles can recover. I will probably do the ToneItUp 'Stretch and Release' video and a foam roller routine on my rest days. You can find the 'Stretch and Release' video here
I'm happy I finished my workouts and daily goal before the afternoon. It makes me feel energized for the rest of the day! Join me on my daily goal! Let me know on my twitter or Facebook if you are going to join me! It's so much fun. It is like a daily game to reach the "high score" of burning over 500 calories! Ha ha.
Now I'm off to the Atlanta Falcon's game with my family! I'm pretty excited.
RISE UP ATLANTA! Let's go Falcons! :)
