Spring Has Sprung
Everything has finally bloomed…or is on it’s way to blooming. That means my mood has bloomed too. Plus, with the warmer weather, my clothing allows more skin to show. So, I’m more motivated to keep up my workouts so that the results are apparent and progress shows.
It’s difficult to stay on the elliptical for an hour (my goal) because the bottoms of my feet get numb. I guess it’s from keeping them in one place without really moving them around like I would on a treadmill.
So, it’s time to get outside and exercise. There is a great 4 mile loop "around the block" that I can walk which is mostly uphill (good ol’, hilly New England). And then toward the end, there is a 50 degree, 1 mile hill that really kicks my ass. I love it. I get it done in an hour, and I will push to get it done in under an hour…and will try to beat my time each week. That is a great motivator.
I’m still on the same weight lifting routine. I’ll switch it up in a few weeks. Right now, the only changes I’m making to the routine is to just add weight.
My camera is busted, so by the time I see a visible difference in my body, the camera will either be fixed…or we will have bought a new one.

Try HIT on the elliptical and get it done faster without numb feet or an hour of a time. There is good data. Search the articles or google it. Good luck and enjoy the spring. I was feeling that way until the hail storm yesterday at tball. Take care.
