Today I embarked on the couch 2 five km training program otherwise known as c25k. It's a program designed to get you, as the title suggests from the couch to running five kilometers in 12 weeks. I have chosen to do the treadmill option. I was happy with how it went, put the treadmill on an incline and did the full half an hour. That is a first for me. I usually run on and off for a little then walk the rest. All up burnt 362 calories.
This evening I then went for my usual walk with my sisters in the hot humid weather and by the time I got back my legs felt so heavy, I was so hot and sweaty but 400 calories gone. When I got home I had missed majority of The Biggest Loser and thought well I am not going to watch it now, I will just watch it online tomorrow. So outside I went and skipped with my skipping rope up and down the drive way burning another 100 calories in 15 minutes. I knew skipping was hard but that is great calorie burn in such a short time. Will be doing that again very soon. So total calories burnt for the day = 862 and that doesn't even include my BMR. I am on fire. Loving this exercise....
