My Weekly Workouts
Last week was a pretty active week for me, even though I “forgot” to do my two planned Double Edged Fat Loss workouts. Instead of DEFL I took several walks and was otherwise very active.
- Tuesday: Walking 30 minutes
- Saturday: Walking 30 minutes
- Sunday: Walking 30 minutes & Salsa 20 minutes
These are only my “official workouts”. I puttered around my apartment more than I normally do, got up and down the stairs and ran a lot of errands in the city center.
My Weekly Steps
Ten days ago I purchased an Omron pocket pedometer and I have worn it around my neck every day. Below is a diagram of the steps I took last week. (My walks are included in the daily steps.)
As you can see, there is a lot of variation from day to day. The most passive day was Friday, because I was tired and decided to work at home instead of going to my office at the university. Monday was the most active day: I met my sister and we did some window shopping. :-)
I’m sorry to admit, but last week wasn’t a typical week for me. I’m usually much more passive! Wearing a pedometer every day has made me aware of what I do day in day out and I have automatically increased my physical activity. It has also forced me to admit how passive I’ve become.
The upside is that I’m already feeling a lot more energetic and outgoing! :-)
