Today, according to my plan, I was to work out on the elliptical machine. Being this my first time on the machine, I figured 30 minutes would be plenty. It has a heart rate monitor on it, and it was set to adjust the workout to keep my heart rate at about 146bpm. I did 30 minutes on the machine, and although I expected only to last about 10, I think I did pretty well. The machine calculated that I went a total of 2.5 miles in that time as well.
I then hopped on the stationary bike for another 30 minutes, and did like 8.1 miles there. I guess I didn't set the bike that high, although it was set at level 7, because I had a hard time keeping my heart rate up. Guess that means I am getting into better shape these days. Perhaps next time Ill do level 8 or 9.
I felt better about today's workout than I have all week. Even if I did really only a moderate intensity workout on both machines. I still fought to get my lazy butt out to the gym when I woke up though. I hope that mental battle will cease soon. Thankfully the DOMS I have been suffering through this week is starting to ease up. At least now I can walk across the room without a lot of pain.
