DAY 11-PIYO UPPER BODY

Today is a early day for me...up at the crack of dawn (3 am) to post on my blog, exercise and then off to the dentist after i drop my son off at school. Okay I am awake, lets get started.

Workout stats:
1:33:41 Time
601 (Polar) 375 (Fitbit) Calories

1,731 Total calories/ 1,200 Calories for target weight loss. Lets put this into perspective, in order for me to reach target weight loss eating 1,731 calories I would need to burn about 1,200 calories (137 x 11=1,507+1,200(burned calories)=2,707-1,000 (deficient)=1,707. However, I like that i am kinda of doing a wave with my calories and not eating the same calorie count daily which helps with weight loss (keeps your body guessing).

There was no cool down...I was not very happy with this workout (too short and not enough calorie burn). I liked a lot of the moves it had but, i felt this was more of a total body (abs, arms, core  and legs) workout more so than an only upper body workout. I also didn't feel it got my heart rate up at all...this workout only accounted for 100 calories of the 601 calories I burned on my polar monitor. I think it could have been a better workout if they put a little more effort in it.

Tomorrow i will be doing day 12 PIYO drench. Hope you will join me.
