Got back on the treadmill today
My tendonitis had had enough time that I wasn't having any pain anymore so I decided to give it another shot and go even slower. I just walked fast enough to get my heart rate to the 60-7-% fat burning zone. Did 5 miles in 2 hours. According to the treadmill, burned 866 calories this way.
Also, I found this site which had some interesting stuff about target zones. I figure by the nature of it and how out of shape I am, I am getting well into the aerobic and even anaerobic zones on the bike. So using the treadmill for the fat burning zone and the bike for cardio benefit seems to make sense for me right now. And the low speed on the treadmill will be easy on my foot. I was only at 2.7 mph. Just a stroll really. Also have a Polar heart rate monitor on its way that I got on ebay ... so I will know where I'm at on the bike. |

I recently got me an HRM and it's amazing. I love knowing how many calories lost by weight resistance training. I think it very beneficial to know my heart rate while I'm running.
I agree with ER, if you're working out, you should have one.

Back on track
After the down week from being sick and accompanying 4 lb gain, last week I lost that 4+1. Did 17 miles on the treadmill. No bike because the weather has not been cooperating.
Total loss to date is now at 9 lbs. Even better, this weekend I felt like my suit pants were too big and could stick my fist in the waistband. |

Got back out on the bike today
now that it's warmed up a bit. Made it 3 miles this time, averaging 10.4 mph. Also have a HRM now so I know how hard I'm working. The bike is more like 75-90% for me ... whereas on the treadmill I try to keep it at 70%. But I think that's good as the bike is a harder workout, but the treadmill is longer.
Total burned today via exercise: 1065 calories. 825 walking, 240 on the bike.

The weight loss is great, but the fist in the pants thing probabyl should be just for the folks at home, you know what I mean?
