My Excercise

In the winter,  I usually get on my bicycle fluid trainer 5 or 6 times a week between 45 and 60 minutes.

I do a method called interval training.  That is where you try to get your heart rate in the max target zone and hold it there for 2 or 3 minutes then recover and do it all over again. Here is an example of a recent work out on my iSpiiner app for my iPad.

This is a pretty intense workout that require a lot of focus and dedication,  it isn't fun!  The results are worth the effort!

 

When the weather is nice,  I will run between 3 and 6 miles 3 times a week.  on my non work out days I will walk between 4 and 6 miles.  I lift weights and do kettlebell swings and core kettlebell works out 2 times a week.   I'll detail those exercises at a later time.

My current objective to compte in a number of 5k, 10K and triathlons this summer.  So I am really pushing myself physically.  Much of this intense exercise is not necissary to lose weight,  intense exercise make you hungry.  I have had to balance hunger vs. cravings and try to determine how to track this.  My Withings scale measures lean muscle mass.  I tend to use this as a guage to see if I am getting enough protein.  I try to intake over 125g a day.
