Bike for 2 minutes holding above 70 rpm's

Now with the 30 reps, I did get a 30 second rest between each 10 reps, trust me, I think that make it even harder. When I would get to #6 Brian would make me hold the weights midway, for a 10 second count, I had no clue 10 seconds were that long. I am totally shakey right now, those legs of mine fell as if they belong to someone else

I did feel powerful, of course that didn't last long when I found how how Brian was changing the workout routine

I still love doing the weight, and tomorrow will be Cardio.

woa what a workout. and I thought he gummed you to death...this is worse hehehe

Joan--Wow--what a work out--Think I am glad to have Angie instead of your trainer. I would probably keel over on the spot with all that weight. LOL!!

Have a great day. I am headed to the pool!

Mischa,
I think being 'gummed to death'' would of been easier.

August 10, 2004.....Tuesday

45 minutes on the elliptical machine, keeping the strides at 108-110 strides a minute.

10 minutes on stationary bike keeping the rpm's above 70.

The front of my thighs are very sore this morning, and I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be able to hold out on the elliptical or the bike, but today I amazed myself by doing an extra 5 minutes for my Cardio this morning. last week I was doing 50 minutes, today, 55 minutes.

Feeling good about this.


Pain is Temporary.....Pride last forever....

Oh YEAH!!!!!

!!! Way to go Joan.

Whoa Joan--You are one moving out Mama!!! WAY TO GO!!!!
Have a good time weight lifting tomorrow

Joan! I just want to tell you I read your gym log and am amazed at how well you are doing. You give me inspiration to start weight training and give up some of my cardio! You will not get osteoperosis if you keep up this regime!
You go girl!!!!

45 minutes on elliptical machine doing between 108-112 strides per minute. Burned 849 calories.

I only did 45 minutes of Cardio this morning and it was all on the elliptical, so I'm feeling good about this.

Tomorrow (Thursday) will be weights, Gosh, hope my thighs are less sore by tomorrow morning.

45 on the elliptical is good. I kept mine at 20 minutes Monday, but really fast, decent resistance the whole time. (150-180 strides per minute, intervals of 5-8 on the resistance). I thnk I liked the shorter one, and might do that again today instead of the full 35 I had been doing.

Oh and you know, a good rubbing can help with those thighs, and if you get Bob to do it, if he gets a little carried away, all the better

Kevin,
Bob has offered, but I know what he's up to.

Well, with a salami that big, hard to not tell when he is "up" to something huh
