euheide's Journal, 12 April 2014

58.2 kg (but near 58.3) has gone up from the latest days, but still a very good result considering the weeks before.

Inaccurate body fat percentage from body composition scale: 6.9 % (I don't remember seeing such a low reading which is always nice to see though I don't trust this tech very much lol)

Inaccurate waist measurement across navel: 79.7 cm (not the absolute best I've had so far but very near :)

Today I will try to exercise later in the day - Hope it works! :) Today is leg day and I still haven't defined very well what kind of weighed exercises to do for this day but, aside from the daily indoor cycling, I will probably do some calf raises and try to find exercises (weighed or not) for the quadriceps, hamstrings and gluteus that I can do with my limited equipment and which don't harm my back.

edit: Yesterday I ate lunch out. It was a mix of meats, so the logged information is all estimated :)
128.3 lb Lost so far: 15.9 lb.    Still to go: 4.9 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

Squats and lunges are great leg workouts

Ahah The love of fit, this is the first time I'm doing a "leg day" despite the fact that I've already been an athlete lots of years ago, the difficulty now will be much different because I was running and "tuned up" at the time. The only leg exercise I've been doing lately is indoor cycling which kind of gives my legs a disproportionate muscle tone :) Some muscles are definitely more worked than others... That being said, weighed squats are crazy difficult for me, to the point that they challenge my blood pressure (which is low. I usually have to take a break for the blood to return to my head again lol. I remember doing squat jumps (unweighed heheh) very easily when I was running, but I was much younger and in shape then. They're definitely not easy now heheh.

Thanks Skwhite! I'm probably doing squats and lunges are definitely something I wasn't thinking about! I'm adding that to the list heheheh :)

Thanks Deb! I'm taking it slowly. I'm sure my weight will fluctuate a bit until I get there heheh. But I'm not in a hurry ;)

Euheide, I'm the same. I love spinning, it's such a great cardio and leg workout but you won't find we doing squats on my own. Luckily, the other exercise classes I go to incorporate squats and lunges. They're as much cardio for me as running since I'm so out of shape with that kind of workout.

This squat VS blood pressure issue is more common than I thought! :P I tried doing lunges today at Skwhite's suggestion and you really feel your glutes working doing them! I was surprised! heheh Definitely! When we're out of shape, even stuff that's not supposed to raise your heart rate will do it regardless :) But we'll slowly get in shape. The important is not to stretch the "rope" too quickly. It has to be progressive to allow a good adaptation :)
