I was unsure as to what to do this morning. I do not lift on the weekends and didn't want to bike. I ended up going to the gym for a change of scenery and thought I would figure it out when I got there. I managed:
Intervals on the treadmill: 1 min at around 3.5 mph and 1 min around 5.8-6.2 mph. Did 10 of those, and with warm-up and cool-down that was around 23 minutes.
Rowing: 2000 meters, which was about 12 minutes
Then I went to the annex part of the gym and did a little 'core' work:
db swings:
10x20
10x25
10x25
Planks:
30 sec
30 sec
30 sec
back extension
bwx10
bwx10
bwx10
Was going to do more, but I figured that would be enough. Total time was around 45 minutes or so.
Observations: I'm actually in better cardiovascular shape than I think I am. I could have gone longer on the treadmill, but I just find it boring and can't stand to do it for very long. I guess the way to increase my fitness there is to increase the speed on my intervals. In general I don't like running and don't find the bodies of runners to be appealing: thin, but very little muscle. Which is why I'm looking into more functional fitness for my cardiovascular work: intervals, bw training, etc.
Plans for today: not sure yet. I need to go to the library to return some books and I need to pay the daycare. I also need to buy my sister a baby shower gift, but I think I'll just do that online. I want to clean out some of the basement and try to sell some things, too.
