Work Day Normal Gym Session 17/06/2008

Work Day Normal Gym Session 17/06/2008

Today was not a good day at work. There was a lot of stress and I was just waiting to get out off there pronto. My dad pick me up at 6:15 pm from work. Subsequently, I arrived at the gym about 6:30 pm, my entire workout routine ended at 9:00 pm. Total time spent in gym = 2 hours 30 mins.

In addition, the personal trainer over there seems to enjoy pointing out what he thinks best for me. After having a tough day at work, I doubt I would really care to try out his advices such as doing less weight and doing more cardiovascular exercises. Fact is I already do more than enough cardiovascular exercises. 15-30 mins of walking is a lot per day from carpark to office and vice versa.

Anyway, my workout routine is as follows:

5 mins on rowing machine @ effort level = 10
* Resulted 45 calories burned

Dumbbells bicep curls:
2 (2x10) @ 13.63kg per arm, total = 27.27kg
2 (2x10) @ 15.09kg per arm, total = 31.18kg

Dumbbell triceps overhead extensions:
1x10 @ 29.54kg
2x10 @ 31.18kg
1x12 @ 29.54kg

Squats:
2x10 @ 70kg
1x10 @ 90kg
1x10 @ 100kg

Dumbbell one arm row:
2 (2x10) @ 22.72kg per arm, total = 45.45kg
2 (2x10) @ 25kg per arm, total = 50kg

Dumbbells flat benchpress:
2x10 @ 25kg per arm, total = 50kg
1x10 @ 29.54kg per arm, total = 59.09kg
1x10 @ 31.18kg per arm, total = 63.63kg

Dumbbells shoulder fliers:
2x10 @ 9.09kg per arm, total = 18.18kg
2x10 @ 6.81kg per arm, total = 13.63kg

30 mins on stepper @ effort level = 10
1 min on stepper @ effort level = 5
* Resulted in 170 floors climbed and 340 calories burned

30 mins on crosstrainer @ effort level = 8
2 mins on crosstrainer @ effort level = 4
* Resulted in 1.2 km walked and 250 calories burned

15 mins walked from carpark to office with 3kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 100 calories burned (estimated)

Total calories burned for the day = 735 calories

I have almost forgotten to include this small section dedicated for recording my light cardiovascular session as well.

16/06/2006 Light cardio session
15 mins walked from carpark to office with 4kg worth of stuff
* Resulted in 100 calories burned (estimated)

All in all, a great work out. I seriously can't wait for the next workout. Also, I might be participating in the tug of war of Inter Department Games of KPMG. Frankly, I wish I didn't need to be there.

Cheers

Work Day Stressed Out Gym Session 13/06/2008

Work Day Stressed Out Gym Session 13/06/2008

I was feeling real down today, unable to have a carefree weekend thanks to more work then before. I knew that I cannot skip this gym session as it meant a lot to me to relieve the stress within me. I arrived in the gym at 7:00 pm which is a tad later than usual and got off at 9:30 pm. Total time spent in gym = 2 hours 30 mins

In addition, do note that I did not have to walk 30 mins per day as I had transport to my workplace without needing to park near Giant (new wing).

* Resulted in 45 calories burned

Inclined Barbell benchpress:
2x10 @ 50kg

2x10 @ 35kg
1x10 @ 55kg

2x10 @ 9.09kg per arm, total = 18.18kg

30 mins on stepper @ effort level = 10
1 min on stepper @ effort level = 5
* Resulted in about 175 floors climbed and 340 calories burned

30 mins on crosstrainer @ effort level = 8
2 mins on crosstrainer @ effort level = 4
* Resulted in about 1.2 km walked and 260 calories burned

Total calories burned for the day = 645 calories burned

After the workout, I definitely felt a lot better. I am hoping to hit the gym on Sunday after work. Yes I have to work on Saturday and Sunday this week. Kind of a bummer, sometimes I just want some time alone carefree without needing to worry so much about work.

I have to hit the gym earlier this week due to the fact that I will be quite busy at least till Friday (ie. 06/06/2008).

I hope I am able to exercise on Thursday that is 5/06/2008. However, due to the busy work schedule I may have to do my workout on Friday instead. I also would like to transfer my Fitness First membership to anybody who reads this blog.

I am planning to join Celebrity Fitness in 1Utama because it is far more convenient than Fitness First for the moment.

Work Day Light Weight Gym Session 27/05/2008

Work Day Light Weight Gym Session 27/05/2008

Again, I have to record some unconventional light cardiovascular sessions that I do everyday thanks to long distance between carpark and my office.

15 mins walked from carpark to office, carrying 3kg worth of stuff.
* Resulted in calories burned = 120 calories burned (estimated)

And now I present you my workout routine for the day. I arrived at the Damansara Uptown Gym at 6:15 pm and got off about 8:45 pm. Total time spent in gym = 2 hours and 30 mins. I had to hit the gym today because I have been absent from the gym almost for a full week. (ie. if I delay this session to Wednesday)

I keep getting pestered by the Personal Trainer over there. I really wish I could just concentrate on my work out at times. I know it isn't perfect but at least I enjoy doing it. I don't see a point to continuously do exercises I dislike just for the sake of it.

My workout routine of the day are as follows:

5 mins of rowing machine @ effort level = 10
*Resulted in about 45 calories burned.

Standing barbell shoulder press (olympic style):
2x10 @ 32.5kg
1x10 @ 37.5kg
1x8 @ 42.5kg

Standing barbell bicep curls:
1x10 @ 18.18kg
3x10 @ 22.72kg

Skullcrushers:
4x10 @ 22.72kg

Dumbbells flat benchpress:
2x10 @ 27.27kg per arm, total = 54 .54kg
1x10 @ 25kg per arm, total = 50kg
1x10 @ 31.81kg per arm, total = 63.63kg

Calf rise (machine):
1x10 @ 30kg
1x10 @ 55kg
2x10 @ 35kg
* I have no idea how to use this machine properly, thankfully someone (Of european ethic) showed me how to.

Shoulder dumbbells fliers:
1x10 @ 2.27kg per arm, total = 4.54kg
1x10 @ 4.54kg per arm, total = 9.08kg
2x10 @ 6.81kg per arm, total = 13.63kg

Woodchopper (inverse):
2 (2x10) @ 10 kg per arm, total = 20kg
2 (2x10) @ 12.5 kg per arm, total = 25kg

10 mins on stepper @ effort level = 10
21 mins on stepper @ effort level = 8
* Resulted in 180 floors climbed and 320 calories burned (I did this in good form, ie. no lying on the bar and it seems to be a lot more difficult than expected)

30 mins on crosstrainer @ effort level = 8
2 mins on crosstrainer @ effort level = 4
* Resulted in 1.2 km walked and 260 calories burned.

Total calories burned (including morning walk and rowing) = 745 calories burned

I would say that this gym session is actually very light weight. Nonetheless, I think I am spent at the moment. I hope to hit the gym on Thursday at the very least. Tomorrow seems to be a bit far fetch for me.
