Day 5

Today was tiring. We woke up early and ate breakfast at 7. A delicious protein shake with fruit, oatmeal and more was prepared for us. We got ready for our Balance Body class. It was much easier than on tuesday. I burned almost 600 calories. We came back and prepared for a hike. I got to hike Saddleback. It was steep, but a much faster hike. We completed it in only 45 minutes. I burned over 1000 calories. We came back to the house and had bean soup and some veggies. After having a little rest, we started our afternoon. Our first class was a crossfit. We worked on a lot of different weight lifting machines. We did 45 seconds, then 8 reps as hard as we could and 45 seconds again. I burned 250 calories. After, we had a short spinning class. We did a 5-4-3-2-1 sequence. This sequence consists of doing five minutes of biking as hard as possible and than a five minute slow down. You follow with four, three, two and one minute segments. I burned over 400 calories and only had about 30 minutes of real exercise. This is great if you have limited time and need to burn a lot of calories. Last, we enjoyed a water aerobics class. We focused on abdominals and resistance in the water. At the end of all the classes today I burned about 2250 calories. For dinner we had yummy tuna melts topped with less then an ounce of cheese. A salad and vegetbales were the side item. I feel great!
