After my second FREELETICS session, I felt that I should rest for a day, but then got a phone call asking me to play golf. Telling my friend that I would need a buggy to drive around in, I agreed.
Still very stiff, I arrived and immediately ate some poor food, burger and chips (yes I know, but as I said before, I am no martyr). In my defence the burger was very meaty and came with vegetables.
I was then told by the club house that there were no buggies yet due to the ground being too soft . . . hmmm, this was going to be fun.
The course, an 18 hole, par 72, 6000 yard (5486 metres) was not too hilly and expansive. An average course. It looks like this:
Okay so, with my previous knowledge of course calorie loss for a round of golf I set off.
As I am an occasional golfer, I was never going to hit the ball straight every time so the course for me played about 7500 yards (6858 metres) zig-zagging my way through it.
The total loss of calories for this 5 hour walk with swinging movements thrown in every five minutes or so totalled 1023, which I was very pleased with. My legs felt extremely sore an stiff towards the end and I have to say after the hour-or-so drive back to my home I wished that I had rested.
On the bright side, I did exercise, I was outdoors getting fresh air, I was building up my metabolism, I was increasing my HDL cholesterol, I did reduce my LDL (bad) cholesterol, I was stretching, I was improving my blood flow, I was improving my over all fitness and I was happier, due to the endorphines being relesed.
Overall the madness of not resting, boosted my fitness just a little bit more.
Have a nice day guys, speak soon after my next session; not sure if I will cycle, go to the gym to workout or do another FREELETICS session . . . hmmm.
