03JanSummary of week #9 (220min/22.9 km/2501 cal)

Here is the summary of week #9:

  • 220 minutes of walking/running (3h 40 min)
  • 22.9 km
  • 2501 calories

In the next weeks I need again to go on the treadmill five to six times a week and hopefully make more kilometers and burn more calories. I also plan to do more running instead of incline walking or rather to add more running into my incline walking routine.

03JanWeek #9 Saturday exercise / 85 min (9.2 km)

In today’s exercise I have walked the majority of time and run for only about 10 minutes. The general formula was 5/70/10:

  • 5 minutes of warming up
  • 70 minutes of walking with incline (5-12%) including 10 minutes of running at 9 kmh
  • 10 minutes of cooling down

In total I have burned 937 calories.

While exercising I was watching an interesting Norwegian film from 2006 The art of negative thinking (imdb.com) that shows how positive thinking can be an obstacle to living a fulfiling life. I recommend it.

01JanWeek #9 Thursday exercise / 30 min (2.8 km)

This was a moderate exercise by speed but intense by incline. I have decided to have only 30 minute exercise due to extra outdoor exercise during the day. So these 30 minutes were all 12% incline walking at approx. 6 kmh.

I have walked 2.8 km and burned 385 calories.  A good and quick workout :)

30DecWeek #9 Tuesday exercise / 60 min (6.1 km)

The exercise was a nice combination of incline walking (from 5 to 12% incline).

In 60 minutes I lost 635 calories and walked 6.1 km.

This was actually a morning exercise and as you might know I am not used to them. I rather exercise in the evening (after work). I should get used to run in the morning … but it will take some time. I would like to test that theory of being more energetic during the day if you exercise in the morning.

28DecWeek #9 Sunday exercise / 45 min (4.8 km)

I started the 9th week with 45 minute exercise.

  • 5 minutes of warming up
  • 35 minutes of incline walking at 7-12% incline and
  • 5 minutes of slow walking to cool down

It was good to be on track again. The exercise wasn’t too intense but as I was now on the treadmill after a week and a half it was a great exercise. My legs are tired a bit but I feel great again.

Altogether I have burned 544 calories.
