Excercise Report - After 1 month.


Since I left my ex-company, one month has passed. I went to the gym 26 times out of 31 days. And I can already see several changes.

 


Our gym’s treadmill has a calorie counter so I have been checking how many calories are burnt after jogging. Here is the sum up.

When I run 5MPH, with 0.3mile X 2sets, and walk 3MPH with 0.2mile X 2sets (Total: 1mile), I burned about 130calories.

When I run 5MPH, with 0.35miles X 3sets, and walk 3MPH with 0.15miles X 3sets (Total: 1.5mile), I burned about 200 calories.

After calculation, this means that 5MPH jog burns about 140calories per hour, and 3MPH walk burns about 110 calories per hour. (FYI, I am 5’6”, and weighs 150lbs.)

My legs do not look that different, but my arms definitely started to look different. So I put my arms’ pictures which were taken a month ago (Left) and recently (Right).
 
 
I am a guitarist, so my first goal is to get stamina for my arms to play the guitar for a few hours straight. I could actually reach this goal in one month. But this workout has been the first thing I do in the morning, and I practiced the guitar after that. This really made my body tired out and after a few hours of guitar playing my both arms started to shake and I could not even hold milk carton for a while.
So, next month, I am planning to work out every other day instead of 5 to 6 days a week, and take off one day a week to not work out nor play guitar. I will report the result again!
