Workout Minutes

I have been using a website called sparkpeople to track nutrition and fitness goals. I have done this because it is really hard for me to lose weight and I wanted to show that I truly do burn more calories then I intake --- and still lose weight VERY slowly.

So - for the last week, my goal is 360 minutes of cardio a week, which 60 minuts of cardio a day - 6 days a week, which is what I normally do for a work out schedule. But my normal schedule does not allow for any weight loss. So, I exceeded my goal this week, by 335 minutes! Total cardio minutes was 695. Total calories burned was 4536! This equals 4 whole days of caloric intake! It's really cool to track all that to see how your caloric intake relates to your caloric burn.
