After Round 7 Maintenance - Week of 4/4/2011

MONDAY - April 4, 2011 - Plyometrics
=====================================
Not my best Plyo workout, but not my worst either. Got in a good sweat.

TIME: 58:58; CALORIES BURNED: 655; HEART RATE - AVG: 130, MAX: 159


TUESDAY - April 5, 2011 - Interval X Plus
==========================================
Again, an average Interval X workout.

TIME: 44:18; CALORIES BURNED: 461; HEART RATE - AVG: 125, MAX: 157


WEDNESDAY - April 6, 2011 - Kenpo Cardio Plus
==============================================
A bit better than average. My best calorie burn on this routine in quite a while.

TIME: 41:40; CALORIES BURNED: 433; HEART RATE - AVG: 125, MAX: 151


THURSDAY - April 7, 2011 - Fountain of Youth (One on One)
==========================================================
I bought a few of Tony Horton's One On One workouts to add a bit of variety to things. I've heard a lot of good things about Fountain of Youth, which is a shorter Yoga routine than the 92 minute Yoga X. I liked the workout. There were a few new things involved, but I'm wondering if it's too short. There's days when 92 minutes gets real tedious to me, so this is nice as an alternative, but I also don't want to be rushing through Yoga. It's about relaxing.

TIME: 47:37; CALORIES BURNED: 304; HEART RATE - AVG: 101, MAX: 128


FRIDAY - April 8, 2011 - Super Cardio (One on One)
====================================
Another new workout for me, as I wanted to get some cardio alternatives, especially for Cardio X. This is an OK workout. There's nine moves that you do three times each. There's a few new moves in there, but I'd rate this on a par with Cardio X as far as difficulty and keeping my interest.

TIME: 46:24; CALORIES BURNED: 369; HEART RATE - AVG: 110, MAX: 150


SATURDAY - April 9, 2011 - Cardio Confusion: Mason's Choice (One on One)
=================================================
My third and final new workout. I liked this one a lot better than Super Cardio, as there's 24 different moves (picked out of a hat by cameraman Mason), and they seem to be more effective. Tony also seems to be in a crazier mood than in Super Cardio, so that makes it more interesting. Still a bit on the short side, and not as intense as Plyo or Interval X Plus, but I could see this as something I could use a lot.

TIME: 43:29; CALORIES BURNED: 401; HEART RATE - AVG: 118, MAX: 151


SUNDAY - April 10, 2011 - Weigh In
===================================
WEIGHT: 181.0; BODY FAT: 23.5%

An increase of 1 pound and .2% Body Fat

I didn't eat great this week, again. The constant trying to watch what I eat thing is wearing me out mentally because I'm totally lost. I really need to sit down and figure things out.

After Round 7 Maintenance - Week of 3/28/2011

MONDAY - March 28, 2011 and TUESDAY - March 29, 2011 - REST
========================================================
Continuing to rest my body.

WEDNESDAY - March 30, 2011 - Kenpo Cardio Plus
===============================================
My body is still a bit beat up, but I really needed to get back into this. I started off with Kenpo Cardio Plus, which is my favorite workout. The 10 day break did me good. I felt engergized and got in a good workout.

TIME: 41:44; CALORIES BURNED: 424; HEART RATE - AVG: 127, MAX: 157


THURDSAY - March 31, 2011 - Plyometrics
========================================
Instead of doing my usual Thursday Yoga or Stretch, I went with Plyo to get a liitle extra calorie burn. It went very well. My knees were still a bit sore afterwards, but I don't think I'm ever going to get away from that.

TIME: 58:45; CALORIES BURNED: 697; HEART RATE - AVG: 134, MAX: 165


FRIDAY - April 1, 2011 - Interval X Plus
=========================================
I stuck Interval X in instead of my Modified Cardio X routine simply because I'm getting bored with the Cardio X. Interval X always gives me a better burn for the time, and it did so again. I actually burned over 500 calories in 44 minutes, which I believe may be the first time I've hit 500 for this workout.

TIME: 44:23; CALORIES BURNED: 504; HEART RATE - AVG: 131, MAX: 160


SATURDAY - April 2, 2011 - Kenpo X
===================================
Last time I did this workout I concentrated on keeping me heart rate up and burned over 600 calories for the first time on Kenpo X. I wanted to follow up strong today. While I didn't hit 600, I got close, so I'm happy.

TIME: 58:58; CALORIES BURNED: 582; HEART RATE - AVG: 122, MAX: 156


SUNDAY - April 3, 2011 - Weigh In
==================================
WEIGHT: 180.0; Body Fat: 23.3%

A drop of .5 lbs and .3% Body Fat. I'm still not eating great, but it's a loss.
