Can you say, “Oof”?
March 26, 2009
So, it has become painfully apparent to me that I have to actually OBSESS about exercise in order to meet my fitness goals. With that in mind, I’ve decided to dust off the old Polar heart rate monitor and try to bust more of my ass than I have been lately.
On a whim, I Googled the term, “1000 calorie workout” and was directed to this article (there are two pages). In ninety minutes, combining cardio and weight training, You Too can burn up to 1000 calories!
I’m going to give it a shot (substituting the elliptical for the treadmill – I know for a fact that I can burn 500 calories in 50 minutes, so I’ll adjust accordingly). Looks like it could very well kick ANYONE’S ass, doesn’t it?

(I transferred the info from the article to an Excel spreadsheet, so if anyone would like me to e-mail them a copy to print and use, just let me know!)
(p.s. #2 – When I actually DO this, I’ll wear the heart rate monitor and let you know how many caloriers I ACTUALLY burned.)
