Day 8- Burn Fat Boost Metabolism
This is a 52 minute workout with 7 circuits each lasting 6 minutes. Uh...I hate it when I think a workout is going to be 45 minutes and then there's another 7 minutes added on there. Yes, it's only 7 minutes, but it's 7 whole minutes! On the positive non complaining side, this is a good one. The pro's:
1-Jillian doesn't bug me at all :)
2-Tons of variety
3-You stay moving the whole time
4-I don't feel dumb doing any of the moves
5-A good sweat
So I burned 339 calories with my average heart rate at 127 and max at 157. It's interesting to see the stats because I'm learning that I stay around 130 beats per minute on average, which is right in the fat burning zone. My toddler decided to jump on my back during the plank exercises and that made it a little rough, but that's motherhood. My 6 mo old also woke up in the middle so I just put the video on pause, grabbed him out of the crib and put him in the bouncer, and voila. Happy baby. He doesn't seem to mind breastfeeding after I exercise and I don't seem to notice a difference in his temperament.
I've started tracking calories to see how much I'm eating but I wait until the end of the day to record so that I'm not stressing out about staying under my calorie goal. Turns out I'm doing fine, actually eating under my calorie allowance. I refuse to even try to eat less than 1800 calories a day while breastfeeding. While I still have my trouble spots, eating well is important for my health and baby's.
