Work Day Gym Sesion 01/08/2011

Work Day Gym Sesion 01/08/2011

I got into the gym fairly late today ie. about 12:45pm. Due to the time constraint, I decided to do a 40 mins full cardiovascular session. I managed to get off the gym about 1:45pm.

Total time spent in the gym = 1 hour.

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

10 mins on the treadmill @ speed = 6.5 kmph and gradient = 0.0%

* Resulted in approximately 425 calories burned and 6.1km jogged and brisk walked.

I did try to push myself to jog 40 minutes straight at 8kmph. Unfortunately, I did not have enough stamina nor did I have enough training for that. I hope to pull another gym session tomorrow focusing on weights training.
