Today when I was at the gym I ran to the restroom to water down my face and cool down. I looked in the mirror and noticed how thin my face is getting. That's where I always lose weight first is in my face.
Since every workout I do is always full body, low impact, high impact, cardio, and weight training, I have been noticing that my legs are starting to be more toned as well. :)
Here's what I did today at the gym:
*Stationary bicycle: 40 minutes at 7.0MPH
*Weight training and toning: 20 minutes
*Walking for a cool down, 17 mins at 2.5 MPH
Total calories burned: 789 (based on my height and weight)
My workout wasn't as intense as I wanted it to be; I was at the gym for about 1 hour and 40 mins total which is about average for one of my days off from work, but usually I go balls out..So I'm thinking about going running tonight once the sun goes down so I can burn more calories. :)
And a tip for anyone who needs to find a good pick me up after workouts; before you grab those nasty protein shakes that build you up and make you bulk, try eating an apple. Apples are packed with so many vitamins as well as fiber. Fiber is an essential thing for your diet (especially if you don't eat meat or meat products).
After a good workout (burning anywhere from 550-1,000 calories) I either eat peanut butter (2 tbsp) on wheat toast or an apple. :)
