I then tried the dvd that came with my exercise ball (which is my chair in the loft) and I think I burned more calories laughing than from attempting any of the exercises. A Large ball works great as a chair, but it is too big (plus our ceilings are a little low) for any effective exercises.
Wednesday, June 23rd was equally hot, so after a fun Science end of year bbq I headed down to the pool. I am not a great, or even good, swimmer so I decided to practice putting my head in the water without having to plug my nose. I am able to swim 1/2 the distance of the pool but I struggle at being able to turn my head, breath, and then put it back in. I spent about 30 minutes in the water and I was surprised at how sore my legs were.
Thursday, June 24th. Miserable heat and humidity lead to not exercising and crabby mood. But, it is now a new day and everything is good.
Friday, June 25th is the first full day of Summer Vacation! I enjoyed sleeping in and then got up for a morning run before the sun came out. I decided that since it was cooler I would attempt going a little further.
distance | time | Pace | HR Avg. | Calories |
3.02 | 38:19 | 12:41 | 124 | 328 |
I decided I wouldn't worry about my pace and instead just focus on continuing to run. I had to walk a couple times but at least I got another mile in my shoes. I am also thankful to 7-11 employees who let me use the employee only bathroom. This sure made the last mile bearable. :)
Here's to a great week of exercising, a fun trip down to Richmond tonight for a concert, and getting closer to my perfect teeth.
