Cardio from Hell Day =0)
So today was a record on the el cardio. I did two hours worth. 30 mins this morning of elliptical and jogging (for 10mins) in between clients then I did the remaining 1.5hrs tonight at the big gym. I started out with jogging for 20 mins of a pace of 5.1 slowly increasing up to 5.8mph. Then the next 10mins I did sprint intervals 2 min walking (3.4mph) and 1 min sprinting at 8.5-9mph. Shorty can run! hehe. Anywho, I’ve been eyeing for the past couple months I’ve been working out at this gym these newfangled machines. I don’t even know what they are called other than they are of the Precor variety and it basically looks like you are running on air. Its like the elliptical but WAAAAY cooler. Ha. And you can control your stride and it was great that I could tell the HR monitors where still all sensitive. Is that sad I get excited about accurate HR monitors? Ha. Anywho, it was also great because no stress on my joints, and it really felt like I wasn’t kicking my ass, but I was sweating like a….nvrmind….and it was way easier to keep my HR up around 145ish. yaya!

I know the Precor machine you are talking about. I fell head over heels the first time I was on there. I literally told the guy next to me to push stop or else I would not have gotten off. I love that thing! Great work!

That would be a cardio day from hell. Leave the gym, go for a bike or a run. Anyway you did awesome, and are looking awesome. Hope you keep moving forwards, and enjoy your journey.
