Workout Time: 7min. 4 sec

OK... back to the Challenge:

Loved: Tennis, lateral shoulder raises
Why: i felt the burn and it felt great!
Disliked: inline skaing
Why: we did 4 leg workouts in a row, by then, i was cooked!

Calories Burned: 121.1 (+ the above = 154.7)
Workout Time: 21.50 (+ the above = 28.90)

EA Active - Day 1

Today the EA Active 30 Day Challenge has begun. Recently I was diagnosed with a Hypothyroid & high testosterone level which aided in me gaining weight. My very very good friend (who will be known as M. Fab) and I have been talking about our weight issues and decided to do the EA Active 30 day challenge together. Today I did the Medium Intensity Day one workout. I liked it a lot, sweat like crazy. :)

Besides teh EA, I will be walking as well. The schedule is:

Monday: EA
Tuesday: 30 min. Walk
Wednesday: EA & 30 min. Walk
Thursday: EA & 30 min. Walk
Friday: EA
Sat & Sun: Rest

Ok.. So honesty is here.. I can't believe I am putting this out there on the www but I need to take ownership of this an forge ahead.

My Stats:
Height: 5'11
Weight: 166

The Workout:
Loved: Target Punching, Running, Lunges & Bicep Curls
