9April2007 L3D1 25 rounds 380 cals maxHR 178 avgHR165

11April2007 3:26 183 cals maxHR 160 avgHR 127

pull ups are all assisted either w/ a stretch band and or jumping pull-up. My plan is to bounce through levels 1-3 until I can do the pull-ups unassisted. I might throw some burpees into the day 1 workout to mix things up.

When I do day 1 I try to keep the spread between my average and max heart rate as small as possible. I think helps me get the most out of that day's workout. At my age, my calculated max HR is 177 bpm.

Performed this workout w/ active 3 minute rest periods ie. I rowed, on my concept2, at a moderate pace during the 3 minute rest period. That really increased the calories burned during this workout as well as the workout intensity and amount of sweat produced. One could add a 300 to 400 meter easy run as a substitute for rowing.

I also did this after a night and day of fasting. Had plenty of energy at 6:45 PM today after having last eaten at 7 PM last evening.

I didn't really have my heart in it today and the number of completed rounds shows it. 3 less than last monday. Will try to do better next time.

Remember to drop a couple levels at least once a month, also taking a week of can do wonders.

You are doing great!

Just imagine what kind of cals you are burning from epoc.

"epoc"?

EPOC (Exercise Post Oxygen Consumption) is defined scientifically as the "recovery of metabolic rate back to pre-exercise levels" and "can require several minutes for light exercise and several hours for hard intervals."

These workouts can cause metabolic disruption up to 36 hr's post workout depending how hard you hit them.

I'm taking this week off from simplefit. Doing two days of physical therapy. Really, I just wanted to move my log to the top
