Peace...........like zen...........so restful

It rained this morning, so I stayed indoors about 20 minutes longer before I went to the Gym. My programme, about an hour and 15 mins in total was like this:

Warming up 10 min (resulting in 4.5 mins at HR 141)
Tredmill 10 mins at HR 141
Cross trainer 10 mins at HR 145, 3 mins cool down to HR 114
Steam room, shower, dress, blow dry hair

As I was running late I did not do my usual muscle training, but I was extremely content with the cross trainer excercise. It is a heavy training for me, involving most major muscle groups. And where I started with an akward 3 minutes last wednesday I am now up to 10 mins at full speed. To this end I put some work out music on my telephone and pumped away. I know I have to he careful as it is a strain on my knees. But so far so good.

I also tried the skating trainer, but I have to admit I do not like it, defenitely not Willow material. The sideways motion is quite a strain on my knees, and I found I have problems getting the coordination of it down. So I sort of stumbled along like a drunk snail and stopped after 2 mins. I don't like it one bit, uh, uh! Reminds my why I am so crap at skating! On friday I will try the rowing machine, and I am curious about that on. I have an idea I may like that one.

As I left I bought some low fat curd at the bio shop, including two kiwis and enjoyed them both when I arrived at the office. I have a wonderfully peaceful feeling, I feel really good. My facial skin is improving by leaps and bounds. I would think it feels tight and dry from the sauna and steam room, but it is definitely NOT the case. In fact my facial skin feels relaxed, smooth and soft.

I have to say the benefits of fitness are more than losing weight. So much more! Tonight is weighing night and movie night. So I will be busy, busy, busy. Work will be quiet for a few more days, so I will enjoy it as long as it lasts.
