Kick Away Calories!




Hi Everyone!

Tonight's workout was fun, and challenging. I already went through it twice, and I want to go through it one more time. It's a full body workout, with plenty of cardio moves built in. It had me pretty sweaty! 

Yesterday I did a 6.91 mile run with Jesse. We were doing an easy run, and I was happy to check out my stats from the running watch after my run and see that the last 4 miles were between 7:25 and 7:52 pace. It felt comfortable, and we were talking a lot so I was expecting my pace to be slower. 

With the holiday's it's important to stay on track with your workouts as much as possible, especially leading up to those days when you know you are going to be very busy. My sister, Kristen, invited me to do a 4.4 mile Turkey Trot with her Thanksgiving morning, so I think that's how I am going to start my day. Average calorie consumption on Thanksgiving averages around 4500 calories. Most of it comes from snacking throughout the day, and not the actual sit down dinner. 

Are you doing anything active to stay fit and healthy this holiday season? 

I hope you guys enjoy the workout!
Melissa

    1. That is fantastic. Your running schedule is quite similar to mine. I run slightly more (about 20 miles per week, 30 miles on higher weeks in the summer, because the weather makes me want to run). All of the workouts on here are the actual workouts I do to stay in shape. Keep building that solid foundation!

  2. I will be following your workouts for sure. How many calories do you think is burned during the whole session? You can give an estimate.
