The Search for Vitality

The day before yesterday my trainer put me through a fierce workout involving a lot of lunges.  As a result, I could barely lift my legs throughout the day yesterday and most of this morning.  I didn’t see how I could possibly workout today with my muscles being so sore!  Well, Adam managed to put me though more paces today, starting with a warm-up that used a long, cylindrical pad that I had to roll the sorest parts of my leg muscles over.  It hurt the way that a deep-tissue massage does and was effective in reducing some of the soreness.

He talked to me about using a Body Bugg to measure my metabolic rate while exercising.  It is an armband that measures the rate at which I am burning calories.  Amazing technology!  It will run me around $300 so I am doing some of my own research on it before purchasing.  It also comes with a complete individualized nutritional program that plans your meals out for you based on your current and projected body statistics.

I have already enrolled in the nutritional program so all that is left is for me to purchase the Bugg, which I will probably do on Monday when I have my next training session.
