Hi Ladies,
Wednesday I did CH: Wild Goose Chase and some of Trail Ride to make it to over 10,000 steps for the day.
Yesterday I decided to give the spin bike a real chance, so I watched videos about proper seat height (mine was a bit too low), and put on proper clothes (biking pants) and shoes (I don't have clip-ins, but I did wear flat-soled sneakers, as they recommend). It was a much better experience and I actually enjoyed it, though it was tough.
I did a 20 min 90s hip hop ride with Robin on the Peloton app. That was a good one. I was expecting much better music overall on the Peloton app; it's good that you can choose a lot of preferences from a ton of workouts to narrow it down, but I was just expecting more motivating music that I would recognize but that hasn't been the case. Robin has a lot of 90s music and I like her as an instructor, so I'll probably stick with her for the next few rides. I was pretty winded at the end, but at least I was able to do all 20 mins this time.
I tacked on 10 mins of CH as a cool down. I also cut the front lawn with the push mower in the evening, so that helped me to make it to over 10,000 steps for the day.
I'm leaving for Atlanta this morning and will likely not work out while I'm away. I'll be back Sunday afternoon.
SB - Good job with the KB swings and deep squats. It does sound like they are really helping!
I've also mentioned that I would like to get back into weight work, but I haven't found the time or motivation yet.
Nora - Good job with your workouts!
Vancouver Island sounds lovely!
I'm back to using Lose It more regularly (in the last while I'd skip days, especially when I eat out and it's harder to keep track). This week it's helped me to see how much I'm overeating.
Thanks for the Fitbit tip! I can't add a workout in the way you have mentioned (I have the Alta), BUT, I did find where I can manually add workouts after I do them, so I'll be able to manually add my spin workouts. I still have my eye on maybe getting an Apple Watch, though, just for fitness
(so I would get a lower-series than the current Series 7).
