day 14 (Interval on Elliptical)

Wanted to take it kinda easy today being a weekend and all. Had to do some running around but managed to squeeze in about 45 minutes of interval on the elliptical

Workout
Most machines offer the option to do interval training, I wish you could preset the duration of the interval since the standard is like 2 min on/off. With some light stretching I did 2min @4 (OFF) and 2min @ 12 (ON). It wasn't a bad workout, but compared to everything else, at the end of it I felt like all I had fatigued was my quads. I'm going to research this a bit more. But I'd assume I burned around 450 cals on this one.

Food
9am - banana
10.30am - indian chai + parle g + 2 egg whites
1.00pm lunch - turkey keema with 3 rotis
3.00pm apple
7.00 pm 2 rotis + keema
10.00 pm casein

Day 13 (Insanity Pure Cardio)

I had barely started to getting rid of the cold and at crossfit they made us run 600m out in the cold yesterday...suckers...It was freezing and raining too :-). So when I checked today's WOD, 800m run, I said Hell No!. So today I decided to do Insanity's core cardio. I had forgotten all about this workout. The video was a modest 40min. Played the video and a 15 min warmup later...I heard Shaun T whisper..."are you scared for whats about to come?" ......took me back in time....HOLY SHITTT...its PURE Cardio. This is not interval training with breaks...its 18 minutes of non-stop heart pumping cardio that will fry you silly. Well, I took plenty of breaks, I think this one is just impossible to keep up with. I'll keep this one in my back pocket next time I thing about cardio.
After finishing this, I did a round of p90x ab ripper x. My all time fav

8.30am - 2 scoop whey + blueberries + 1/2 breakfast essentials
