Sorry for not updating yesterday, people.
So, workout yesterday was good. I did interval training for 20 minutes and it felt great. Is it safe to do interval training every time I do cardio? Is that going to overtax me? Because it saves me time and is a lot more fun for me than just running non-stop for a half hour or more, so if I don't have to do "regular" cardio, all the better for me.
Chest and abs were also feeling good. I can actually do whole sets of the Bicycle Exercise without having to stop midway through, and I'm ready to up my weight for presses and whatnot - right now I'm doing 30lbs for presses, 30 for incline presses, and 17.5 for flies. I think I'm going to try moving up to 35 for both types of presses (though I may have to keep it at 30 for incline; we'll see).
I weighed myself yesterday. Unfortunately, all I have is a bad electric scale, so it was wildly inconsistent. Before the workout, I went on fully clothed; the first time, I got 185; then, when I tried again, I got 184; then 180; then 182. Then when I went on after the workout, I went on without clothes and consistently got 178.5. This would be awesome, but I don't believe it. At my last doctor's checkup, I weighed 186 (this was probably in October or November), and I would be extremely surprised if I somehow managed to lose weight in university. Either way, I've only been working out for 3 weeks, and there's no way that I've managed to lose like 7 pounds in such a short amount of time. Much as I'd like to say I have, it's just too unlikely. Still, looking at the readings from before the workout, I never got higher than 185, so I've lost AT LEAST one pound. Huzzah!
I'm doing an bridged workout today - should be a post up later tonight, so check back then!

Woo!
ReplyDeleteHaha um, as for interval training, its totally fine to do it every time you do cardio. It will help build up stamina. What I did for about 2 months was interval training on the treadmill. When I started working out, I struggled to accelerate running (not on the elliptical but on the treadmill or outside) for over a minute, after working up my stamina I can run 10 minutes with little trouble. So it helps! Plus it'll burn fat faster, as you know.
And for your weight, you should weigh yourself ONLY in the morning, right when you wake up and after you use the bathroom. After a work out you will be a couple pounds lighter at times because you lost a lot of water weight in sweating. After a meal, you'd be heavier. So, weigh yourself in the morning and keep track of how much you lose monthly. So by June 1, see how much weight you lost!

yeah so it's quite normal for your weight to keep going up and down, like i move up and down from 155 to 160. you lose weight from sweating/ dehydration, also when u take a big dump in the toilet u'll prob lose around 4 lbs lol.
