Kicking Precor's a**

So, today was day five out of five at the gym, boys and girls, and I did what is called "active recovery". That is when you still workout, but less intense. It gives you the benefits of working out, but doesn't cause as much stress, especially if you have been working out a lot. Ive been using either an Adaptive Motion Trainer (elliptical with resistance on all four points of articulation) or an Elliptical without the arms, but ramping up the incline.

I ended up at 502 calories (according to it) in 32 minutes. Thats a hair over 15 cal/min for you calculus majors Yesterday I did 40 minutes and hit 567. So, my 'active recovery' ended up netting an extra cal/min.

Active recovery, ha! Your father was a hamster, and your mother smelt of elderberries.

Here is what my week looked like (facebook people will have to go to oldguynation.blogspot.com to see the graphics, sorry)

The red line is what I ate, the blue line is the amount I set for myself (1945), and the green line is "net" taking exercise into account. 

Here is my calories from exercise for the week, total.
