9th fitness training
My 9th fitness training today.
I arrive at fitness center 5.50pm and manage to get changed by 6 pm. While walking towards cardio machine, Mike saw me and told me we should start now but ask me to pick a number 1 to 10 which will determine what warmup exercise I should do. I pick no 7 and was told to do 7 mins of cardio at level 3. I completed 7 mins but Mike was busy talking to another trainer and forgot about the time.
I did 15 mins cardio instead.Then we move on to start exercise. Today my main focus is to train my arms. I was asked to be trained using 4 different machines. Each machine I was asked to do 3 rounds of 15 times each. Total 180 times and weight increase from 15kg to 20 kg this time. After complete the 4 machines I move on to another location to train using my arm to pull 15kg weight on 3 different weights 2 rounds of 20 times each. I also had to carry 10kg weight for 40 times.
Today I spent 30 mins on arm training of 280 times. Cannot believe I did so much. Towards end trainer help me to complete the lifting as its pain to my arms. My arms just not used to carry weight for such a long time.
Then we move on to exercise on 5 different training,
cardio, trademill, cycling, stepper and another new machine. Each machine I was asked to burn 30 calories which is equal to 150 calories burnt in 20 mins which is quite a lot compared to average 100 calories for 15 mins that I used to do.
Now if I train on my own 1 hour I can burn min of 300~400 calories on average using 4 different machines. If I train under trainer I can burn 400~500 calories per session depending on type of exercise I do.
Mike told me today not to stop eating chicken, I must cut chicken rice but I can eat chicken meat without skin. The whole plate of chicken rice = 500 calories. I cannot imagine doing so much training and waste on a plate of chicken rice. I can just cut down on rice but eat 1/3 bowl of rice if I want to eat rice.
Generally I should cut down carbo but increase on protein intakes.
