I had a decent week last week of workouts and dieting, and this week has gone well too. I have added more workouts on the Total Gym and also with outdoor cardio. The outdoor sessions have been mainly early morning brisk walks and after-work runs when its nicer out.
Years ago I never saw myself doing a morning walk for exercise, mainly because I saw running as a better cardio choice for my available time. Since I'm not so busy as I once was back then, the morning time becomes a nice choice for a brisk walk to jumpstart the day and not feel too fatigued afterwards.
Its a pretty simple workout: walk briskly for 15 minutes and turn around and come back on the same route. I play my podcasts or listen to the radio on my phone's FM radio app and catch up on the news as I'm walking. Most days when I walk, I'll be out around 5am so I have a headlamp on me for better vision and for safety as well. As summer gets closer, I'm sure i'll be seeing more sunrises around that time.
The Total Gym workouts have been a nice change for circuits. I'm starting out with 30 seconds work, 30 seconds rest x 4 for each exercise. Chest Press, Low Rows, Pullover Crunches, Bicep Curls and Tricep Pushdowns round out my circuit. Its done in 20 minutes and ends up being a nice upper body session.
The weight has been staying steady around 213 and 214, so I can't complain too much. I am feeling lighter and moving a lot easier in my day to day activities at work.
