My workout routine is as follows:

I am eager to start my weight training. Unfortunately, I am still recovering from flu. Hopefully by this Friday, I will be able to continue my weight training sessions. I might need to change my routine back to the old 4 x 10.

Annual Leave Non Gym Session 27/06/2011

Little Foot has been bugging me to bring him for a walk since Morning. Since I was not working today, I decided to give him a walk in the evening after having my haircut.

The entire ordeal took about 40 mins. The stats of the said walk is as follows:

Monday, 27/06/2011, light cardio session (morning)
40 mins walking and jogging with Little Foot around the park for 6 times
* Resulted in 150 calories burned and about 3.6km walked (estimated)

I am starting to miss my weight training sessions. It has been almost more than 2 weeks since my last weight training session. Thus, I will start weight training again once I recover from this flu.

I was suffering from flu. As such, I had to skip the Standard Chartered run in the morning. As I was feeling better towards the evening, I decided to give Little Foot a walk in the park.

75 mins walking and jogging with Little Foot around the park for 14 times
* Resulted in 350 calories burned and about 8.4km walked (estimated)

This walk took longer than usual as I was trying to replace the early morning run with this. My condition worsen after the walk.

This will be my last running session before the 10km run this Sunday. However, I would try to pull another gym session tomorrow or Friday focusing on weight training.

1x6 @ 50kg

1x6 @ 60kg

Work Day Gym Session 13/06/2011

It was another Monday. Although I totally have no urge to hit the gym today, I was able to push myself into the gym about 12:45 pm. I got off the gym about 2:00 pm.

Total time spent in the gym = 1 hour 15 mins.

My workout routine is as follows:

40 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 8.0 kmph and gradient = 0.0%

* Resulted in approximately 530 calories burned and 6.3km jogged and brisk walked.

I am quite happy with today's gym session. However, I am still behind schedule in terms of building up my endurance to jog 45 minutes straight. This would have to be about 60 minutes worth of endurance before 26 June 2011.
