Workout Duration and Effort
I went back to doing a full burpee working out after changing things up. I was only doing half of the workout since I hurt myself by doing the same workout every day.
(Yes, I love to be consistent, this is a situation where consistency hurt!)
After doing only half of the workout, I thought - oh, doing the full workout will be easy, because it’s just twice the effort.
At the end of the second half, I felt I expelled more than four times the effort than the first half of the workout.
| Half | Whole | |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | ~5 minutes | ~12 minutes |
| Active Calories | 40 calories | 110 calories |
| Total Calories | 47 calories | 128 calories |
| Average Heart Rate | 149 bpm | 156 bpm |
The numbers say I did about 2.5x more of a workout across the board.
The feeling I had at the end of the workout was not just 2.5x tired…
