This week I've been reflecting on my exercise/eating habits quite a bit. I feel like for the most part I've maintained some good healthy habits, with a few bouts of falling off the wagon into the sugar cane field. Now that my birthday is over I have no more "free" days to look forward to, and can reeeeally get down to business. My goal for the year end is to lose another 30 lbs. and enter a body building contest. Just kidding, but not really. YES, kidding. This morning I did my mid-year calculation for how much I've exercised (I've been keeping track on my calendar since the beginning of the year, no that's not anal), and it was a lot less than I hoped. Hopefully I can make up for it by year's end.
After running my numbers, I perused the internet for the best cardio exercises.Top 10 cardio exercises which burn the most calories in 30 minutes:
1. step aerobics (thinking of this makes me want to cry)
2. bicycling (like)
3. swimming (like)
4. racquetball (not sure how you play this even tho we were taught in high school)
5. rock climbing (never been)
6. cross-country skiing (never been)
7. running (like - and am improving, which makes me like it even more)
8. elliptical trainer (sure)
9. rowing (Utah lake here I come... carp watch out)
10. walking (backwards? moonwalk?)
For real high intensity cardio, here are the top 3 exercises that will provide amazing results:
1. jumping rope (what if you can't jump more than 3 times before catching on the rope?)
2. sprinting (practice by stealing old ladies purses)
3. spinning (this also makes me want to cry)
What the heck kind of post is this?!! I don't know. Maybe just so I can organize what's going on in my mind and create a whirlwind of motivation and excitement that bursts out from every pore. Cross your fingers that happens.
