Losing 1.1 kg a Week
17 August 2010
I'm confused.
I spent nearly 2 hours at the gym today. I did the same cardio times as on Sunday, and also did 30 reps on the leg press at 30kg and 10 on the chest press at 10kg.
When I checked my calories burned at the gym on my little key doohickey, it told me about 500. When I plugged in 90 mins on "Exercise machine, moderate" on Fatsecret, it came to about 1400 cals burned. What gives?

Went to the gym yesterday, woooo!
It's amazing how you can be adamantly against something (or at least completely disinterested) and yet if its for your kids, you'll do it without a second thought.
The last time I went to the gym was in about 1999 (well before my back injury.) I had always thought that it was pointless to join after that because my pain levels would mean that I couldn't do much. Which in retrospect was really an excuse to cover up the real reason, i.e. fear and embarrassment. (I did consider at one point joining a women-only gym, but it turned out there weren't any within my area.)
Anyway, my son's counsellor suggested that he would benefit from doing some strenuous physical exercise to help boost serotonin production, and also as an anger outlet. She proposed kick boxing or karate, but he didn't fancy either of those. So she then suggested the gym. I thought this would be a great opportunity for both me and him to improve our fitness, and in my case to help accelerate my weight loss. (My son definitely doesn't need to lose weight but he would like to build muscle.)
So we went for our induction session last Weds, and yesterday I finally persuaded him to come with me for our first proper session.
I was kind of apprehensive, given how long its been for me, of how I would get on, and particularly how I'd feel this morning. I am a little sore today, but really I'm pleasantly surprised. I did 15 mins on the treadmill, 15 mins cycling, 15 mins cross trainer, 15 mins on the arm bike (this was really really hard) and 5 mins on something called a wave trainer which I've never used before. That one just about killed me! I think I'll move that one to an earlier point in the workout.
I'm not doing any resistance training to begin with, for fear of hurting my back, but I will probably add that in soon - within a couple of weeks for sure. I used to prefer strength training to cardio, but realistically I need to concentrate mainly on cardio for weightloss.
I won't buy a monthly membership yet because I want to see whether Simon will stick it out or not. And me, really!
