Okay … so today as the day where I upped my resistance/intensity because I did a good job last week.  So I went from Level 9 to Level 10 on the recumbent bike.  Now, level 9 offers some resistance, but not a lot.  I was doing 30 minutes with ease.

But Level 10 is a whoooooole different ball of wax.  Pushing the pedals was like trying to drive a Flinstone’s era ATC through a couple feet of thick mud.  For those of you not familiar with how Flintstone vehicles worked, check out this video:

Imagine trying to mud bog with Fred’s car powered by your own two feet.  Most of the time, I barely got over 70 rpms, but I still burned off my 250+ calories for my effort.

I also upped my elliptical to Level 11, but that barely added more resistance.
