Got another workout in today. 1 hour 5 minutes on the eliptical. Used music and workout from one of my favorite sites, cadencerevolution.com. Today was Cadence Revolution 105. quick warm up and then 5 hills with increasing length and resistance. The first hil was 3 minutes long then it was 3.5 min, 5 min, 7 min, 8 min with 50% recovery in between each hill repeat. Pretty good sweat. I was going to hop on the treadmill but the legs weren't feeling up to it so I passed. That will come later in the week. It's not much of a workout on the treadmill but it helps get a little more time in. Right now it is mostly just walking with a little jog at the end. In a month or so I will probably move to the other gym and use the indoor track to get that time in. Tomorrow is supposed to be an indoor trainer day. 1 hour to 1hour 15min.
Entered a little contest on one of my favorite websites www.fatcyclist.com. It's a simple contest. Weigh yourself today and lose 10 lbs by December 23rd. Not much of a chanllenge if I actually watch what I eat and drink over that time frame. It just serves a s a way to jump start my goal for the next year.9-10 lbs a month.
THIS BOTHERS ME......
The are at least a couple of things that bother me when I am working out at the gym. But the most bothersome of these "crimes" is when I see people on the cardio equipment in the gym and they are more interested in texting or talking to their friends while they are "supposedly" working out. How can you possibly be focusing on your workout while texting. You have to slow down the workout so that you can actually read and type. Please people, focus on why you are actually in the gym.....your friends can survive for an hour while you make yourself healthier. Put the phone away....leave it in the car, lock it in a locker, just don't set it on the machine you are using. I know the excuse is "well that's what I use to listen to music". Buy an IPOD they cost just about nothing. Your fat ass will thank you.
