Feb 8th Running update (New routine)

Feb 8th Update

Hi Friends.....
Today I started a new routine. I figured my body must be getting used to what I have been doing and after reading a few articles thought that I need to up my levels.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture of my routine since at the last dying seconds of my cool down (last 10 sec), the lights went out (power outage) and I lost my readings..

But here it goes:


Climbed up 208 steps (to 8th floor) in the morning when i reached office.

Warmup consisted of some jumping jack, rope skipping and stretches.

• Stretch exercises
• Walk for 5 min (at an incline of 2.0)
• 1 min at 5.0
• 1 min at 5.2
• 1 min at 5.5
• 1 min at 6.2
• 1 min at 6.2
• Running for 20 min at 9.2 kmph (Incline at 2) [Notice the difference]
• Took breaks of 1 min at
• 8 min and 15 min
• Walking at speed of 6 kmph at an incline of 6.0
• Incline of 8.0
• Walking for 2 min at 6 kmph
• Running for 1 min at 8 kmph
• Cool down (automatic reduction in speed by the treadmill) for 5 min 

Burnt a total of 650 calories!!!!

• Tabata workout (30 sec workout 10 sec rest - 8 sets)
• Jumping rope 
• Planks for 1 min

As I had mentioned, I am doing the 30 day Ab challenge.

Thus, did the following:

• 25 sit ups
• 10 crunches
• 8 leg raises
• 12 sec plank
