TO CARDIO OR NOT TO CARDIO?
Tuesday, June 30th, 2009O.k. so fitness question. I was very energetic today to start off (I honestly think not drinking helps alot in that respect). I did 10 minutes cardio on the stationery bike to start, high speed moderate intensity, I felt I could have gone on for hours. Had some good tunes goin’ on the iPod and bopping along just fine. Then I thought I’d better save my energy for the weight training so I ended that and did my thang in da gym. Did pretty good on all accounts in the training except I have to do decline crunches and for some reason they were killing my back today, maybe the incline was too high. ANYWAY…..I finished that part and went to do my post w/o 20 min cardio and was gassed out. I struggled through 10 minutes on the stationary bike, my legs still aching from "legs day" two days ago (why this didn’t bother me an hour earlier is a mystery) and so I thought maybe I’ll get off the bike and go find a different thing, the elipty-thingy and when I got off the bike I said the hell with it I’m bagged. So I did my stretches, which felt sooo good, and then left. Do you think I should have carried on my cardio at the beginning while I had the energy or sucked it up and persevered through another 10 mins on the elipty-thingy at the end. Not sure what to do next time except I don’t want to run out of steam in my weight training, that’s the most important part. Maybe I will try to do some more cardio later today even if its a brisk walk when I get my energy back. I ate all that I should have eaten so I’m good there. Any thoughts….I need your thoughts today….tell me all your thoughts, what are you thinking? Is anybody out there? Hello?
