Day 19: Hurray for Neil Diamond

Yesterday I did some yoga and house cleaning. I don't know how much vacuuming counts for exercise, but it did involve carrying out the garbage after I emptied out the bag, plus taking out more garbage and recycling, making trips up and down the stairs.  Whatever.


Today I chose a different cycling program, the 3-4 interval, where it's three minutes at low resistance and four at a high resistance for 45 minutes, followed by five minutes cool down. I made adjustments to the program.  Afterwards, I did some weights and then some stretch and flex, followed by an abbreviated yoga routine that included downward dog and plank.

I had "Hot August Night" CD going. It made it easier to do the work, while watching the little line across the bottom of the screen for each song.  I also know that I spent minutes with the weights, instead of seconds.

One of the other gym users came in toward the end of my workout.  He didn't mind the music (his mom being a little younger than me, she probably plays it too) as he went onto the treadmill for a while, and he even sang a bit to some of the songs. 

Results:   9.03 miles, 249 calories, 50 minutes, 69 rpm, 131 average heart rate.
