Well today I survived. The workout was a resistance one, but it was difficult because my bad knee was giving out. I was not capable of doing multiple exercises, which will hurt my results. I have a history of having a bad left knee. When I was in 8th grade, I was playing Ultimate Frisbee in gym and twisted the wrong way which cause a hyperextension of my leg. I was in pain for a few days so I decided to go to the doctor. The result was a fractured femur growth plate. I had a cast from my foot to my groin for four lovely weeks. After healing, I have pulled ligaments in this leg at least two different times requiring MRIs. Also a few years ago, I had been working my outer thigh more than my inner thigh which caused my knee cap to pull to one side and irritate my meniscus. Anyways now that you have heard my pity stories, here are some results from my Fitbit! I have yesterdays and todays results and here they are:
1/8/2013
Miles-2.72
Calories burned- 1,114 kcals
Steps- 6,439
1/9/2013
Miles-2.46
Calories burned- 1,061
Steps-5,820
I plan to research goals on how many steps a person should take in a day. I will be setting personal Fitbit goals. I love this device because it sort of gives me an idea how my physical activity is going. I have also taken a test within the last two years called an REE test. This test measures calories burned by just keeping your body alive. For this test, you need to drink a good amount of water for accuracy. A nice big see through looking bowl attached to a tube is placed over your head and you breath for about five minutes. My results were that I burned approximately 1,800 kcals by just breathing alone. If I add this number to calories burned, then this is the amount I assumedly burned for the day.
