Work Day Gym Session 08/01/2009

Work Day Gym Session 08/01/2009

I managed to get off work slightly earlier than usual today. I was quite pissed since I could not pull a gym session yesterday. I decided no matter what I am going to gym today.

I got into the gym around 6:15 pm and got off gym around 7:30 pm, total time spent in the gym = 1 hour 15 mins.

My workout routine as follows:

40 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.0 kmph and gradient = 0%
10 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 9.0 kmph and gradient = 0%
10 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 6.5 kmph and gradient = 0%
5 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 5.0 to 7.2 kmph and gradient = 0% for cool-down
* Resulted in 8.20km brisked walked and jogged, around 725 calories burned.

I will meeting Jeff from Dubai tomorrow. It has been almost one year since I last saw him. Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday and it's the time for me to kick back and relax.

Work Day Gym Session 05/01/2009

This is my first gym session of the year. I was having some headaches after work today, therefore I decided to just do some runs today.

I got into the gym around 7:00 pm and got off gym around 8:15 pm, total time spent in the gym = 1 hour 15 mins.

My workout routine as follows:

50 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.0 kmph and gradient = 0%
15 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 6.0 kmph and gradient = 0 for cool-down
* Resulted in 8.02km brisked walked and jogged, around 675 calories burned.


I probably hit the gym again on tomorrow if possible. This is because I will not be able to hit the gym on Friday due to lack of transportation. Either way, I am already looking forward to my weekends.
