Everyone is doing well! Let's breakout those tank tops and swim suits this weekend, weather will be nice.

I treated myself to a couple Dunkin' breakfast tacos this AM, but will skip lunch!

burning off the wedding reception weight

144.6. If I run this evening I really need to pig out afterward.

[Coach]

156 before my dump this AM.

How many of you guys keep track of things like flight of stairs climbed per day, steps, exercise, heart rate?

I use an Apple Watch and while I don't wear it super early in the AM or at night, I do find that it motivates me during the day.

I stopped taking the elevator recently and can now get up to 13-20 flights climbed per day, which I think helps me maintain.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I don’t track stairs, but on non-exercise days I generally still pay attention to heart rate, calories burned, steps…Sometimes I like to try and guess how many calories I’ve burned at different points of the day.

[Coach]

I'm usually right around 540 cals burned per day, but again it's misleading cuz I don't have this thing strapped on all day

[lennytheweedwhacker]

True…To clarify I’m trying to guess on the Total Calories vs Move

I’m a bit obsessed with the heart rate metrics

[Coach]

My resting heart rate is usually mid 50s to mid-upper 60s

I'm not sure how to see on the watch where it tracks total cals.

Yeah, I was referring to Move.

[Coach]

I almost always hit the 30 minutes of exercise goal even when I don't formally go to the gym. I'm nervous by nature and tend to run around a lot I guess.

540 per day without exercise?

[Coach]

I'm usually right around 540 cals burned per day, but again it's misleading cuz I don't have this thing strapped on all day

540 per day without exercise?

No, that's with exercise sorry

Im guessing you are burning a heck of a lot more just by living.

If you do exercise daily that burns 540 calories on top of typical caloric life burn, then you are golden.

[Strat]

or perhaps im misreading what the discussion is about. Which is possible!

The past 2 months ive been super swamped with work and preparing for my wedding. The thing i needed most during that time frame was cardio, i wanted to slim down. I didnt have time for any muscle building exercise.

Felt great at my wedding then took an additional week up at the cabin eating burgers, drinking beer, cheese curds.

Came back a bloated mess and weak as hell again.

Yup, getting older sucks.

I mostly focus on cardio because its best for outdoor mountain activity. My legs will always be strong by virtue of hiking/skiing. But i need to do better at strengthening as well. Definitely need to get back into Yoga at least...
