One of the rewards of doing my yoga routine is how much taller I seem when I finally stand up at the end. I notice it when I look out the window and around the computer room. I also like how energetic I feel after my workouts, and some times when I'm walking, I feel like running, but I think that people in Fred Meyer would be annoyed if I started sprinting up and down the aisles.
For today's gym workout, I brought a DVD to watch ("Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius") during my workout. Thankfully, I was the only one in the gym. I figured out the television and the player, the set-up screen for the cycle, and went at it, breaking into a sweat within 5 minutes. The cycle screen kept reminding me what my heart rate should be, and adjusted the resistance to slow me down. The program ended *SPOILER!* just as Jimmy's parents were abducted by green aliens.
Distance was over 5 miles, 178 calories, heart rate, I don't remember, nor rate of pedaling.
After the 30 minute program was over (what? the 3 minutes of cool down were in the program? no extra 5 minutes tacked on at the end?) I wiped down the machine and put on a pair of gloves and worked a short bit with the 3 and 10 pound weights.
I did have my cool-down, as I walked to Fred Meyer to get the ingredients for dinner tonight: Cider braised chicken with apples and kale. The recipe was in the Natural Grocers good4u magazine that came in the mail, and here it is too:
