Day 7: A Zumba Workout and Weigh In Day

Hey NeverEver's!

I hope you all had an awesome weekend and an even better Manic Monday! So as it is Monday I want to do 2 things especially today.

First, I want to thank everyone who is reading this blog. So far it has been 1 week of writing and working out! It has been amazing see the stats go up and figuring out how and what to write. Thank each and everyone of you!

Second, today is my Weigh In Day! So as you all know I started off at 213 and with my weigh in today I am at...I wish I could add drum rolls to this as a sound track, but anyways...211.5! I am so happy that I went over my expected 1 pound a week and went to 1.5!

Okay so my workout today was Zumba Fitness at 24 HourFitness Compton Sport. Let me say...they just don't dance in there. They MOVE! I do plan to do a post ALL about Zumba and how it took the fitness world by storm not to long ago. But for now...I will say that I will be feeling this cardio workout for a while! I also can't wait to do it again.
Also, before my Zumba class started, I had to get there an hour early just to reserve a spot, I went to do some Weights. Just working my arms with the machines and dumbbells. So today was an awesome day with a perfect cardio burn and some weights.

So here is my stats for today;

Zumba really kicked my Calorie Burn WAYYY Up!

I am sure you can see why I am happy with today's workout and stats!

Just as an update on my personal life. I am starting a new job tomorrow, Tuesday, but I see no reason for it to effect this blog. In fact I see myself working out more because less then a mile from where I work, Huntington Beach, is a 24 Hour Fitness!

Okay NeverEver's...when was your best day ever on a workout? or Healthy Eating? Did it make you want to do the same thing the next day? Or did you push yourself to hard that day that you just couldn't get up the next? I really want to hear from you!

Night all NeverEver's!

Workout of the Day: Les Mills Body Pump Edition!

NeverEverBeenSkinny @ss kicking workout!

So I just got out of one of the many classes that are offered by 24 Hour Fitness. Today was Les Mills Body Pump class. Its basically a weight class that hits your legs, back and arms at different intervals and not allowing more then a 10-30 second break between sets. 

I will say this...I was sweating. Which means something was being done right. hardest part of the workout was when we were doing the Behind the Head Press. Apparently my arms haven't been bent in that direction in a while so it was challenging. 

As always here is my stats today from BodyMedia! 

As you can see I didn't hit my 'Steps Taken' quota nor my 'Calories Burned' but I have more calories out then in and that is what is important! 

That is it for today NeverEvers! 

BodyMedia Edition

NeverEverBeenSkinny Welcomes You! 

I am finding that writing this 2nd post wasn't at all as easy as I thought it would be. Seems that it is harder then the 1st post, but this shall be done!

Today I wanted to introduce everyone to 'BodyMedia' or as my friends like to call it the 'parole bracelet'. 

BodyMedia is an amazing device that sits on your left forearm and keeps track of your heart rate, how many steps you take, and how well you are sleeping tonight. 

This unique tool is how I am recording my calories in / calories out. I am planning to post my Activity Manager Results with you at the end of each day. Here was yesterdays stats. 

As you can see I didn't get to my calories consumed quota. Not because I am trying to starve myself...but because I was running around all day, interviewing, and was able to eat low in calorie but high in fiber or protein snacks to keep my hunger away. 

I have found that like most of everything in the Exercise World, BodyMedia only works when it is used. However, when used properly, i.e after a gym class or jogging around the neighborhood,  you can look closely to see if you are working out as hard as you thought you were. 

Well this is it for upselling the BodyMedia for now. Will be posting my exercise later on!
