As I left for the gym this morning, I pulled the bobo move of locking myself out of the house. What a day to do it. It was blisteringly cold outside (-28 with the windchill) and I was in a track suit. Fortunately I was wearing my warmest winter jacket instead of the thin lumber jacket I wear when I head to the gym. As luck would have it I also had gloves with me. I rarely have gloves and I counted my blessings as I pulled them on and left the house.
Sure it was freezing out but the sun was shining bright. On the walk to the gym I ran into an old friend who I hadn’t seen in years. I took the time to enjoy the walk instead of being angry at myself for being absent minded.
When I got to the gym my legs were frozen but I had worked up a nice sweat and was ready to rock and roll. Go figure, it was cardio day for me. I like to mix up my cardio so that I don’t feel bored or like I’m grinding through it. I broke it up like this;
Bike 10 mins
Speed bag 5 mins
Treamill 10 mins
Speed bag 5 mins
Stair Climber 10 mins
Speed bag 5 mins
Eliptical 10 mins
Speed bag 5 mins
In total my cardio workout at the gym was an hour. If you add on my walk both ways cardio time was 1 hour and 40 mins. I didn’t plan for it to work out this way but in the end it felt good.
Week one of P90X was great. It’s quite a challenge but I’m enjoying it. On that note I’m off to start week two J The streak is still alive!!!
Big shout out to Marcie for bringing me my keys. Thanks a million! You are a lifesaver!!!
