Day 23, Cardio Power and Resistance

               My new heart rate monitor is a fun toy. I must have checked it 20 times during my workout this morning. It was so interesting to see how high my heart rate was getting and how many calories I was actually burning. According to it I burned 363 calories doing my Cardio Power and Resistance DVD.  Surprisingly, it’s in the range of what I thought I was burning. I expected somewhere between 300 and 400 calories… now with the Pure Cardio DVD I’m expecting somewhere between 400 and 500 calories. We’ll see. During today’s work out 28 minutes of were spent building fitness while 12 minutes were spent burning fat. Not bad.           

Protein Pizza Muffin:

                I have something else new I am going to add into my menu. It’s the protein pizza muffin from the Insanity nutritional guide. I’m very excited about this because we have a little toaster oven at work that will help make me the perfect hot lunch without ever having to leave the office.
