As the weekend gets away from me!!!
Helen: Thank you for the tabata information. I knew it was important, wasn't sure why. Try to get it in at least once a week. Maybe not tabata per se, but at least plenty of huffing and puffing!
My challenges do that on their own, so I just have to follow the rides and when I'm not doing them, I try to throw in a max ride or tabata because I KNOW it's good for me. Also why running intervals is the same principle and I
KNOW it's good for me. I like the "Brainpower" part.
Honey: Welcome!!! Share some info if you'd like (or not - always your decision.) We always love when new people join (but I see not new to VF!) Cuz it ignites some passion for (sometimes) new or not-so-new workouts that may be mentioned. We are a wonderful little group.
Pam: Wow ... sounds like the cure is worse then the PF . I sure hope it helps you. I had mine forEVER. (or at least it seemed that way). I'm of the "I will never go barefoot again in my life" ilk. Although, that's not entirely true. I do occasionally. (I used to ALWAYS be barefoot).
Lili: Yes. We were out pokemon hunting. Brother came up for a special raid (EX raid - for a pokemon only available via an invite from a raid previously done at the gym and not everyone gets them. We traded invites so we each had 2 EX raid passes. . . all greek, I know. I'll spare you the rest.) So inbetween raids, I told him I had to walk at the park for a mile. So off we went. It was windy, it was cold, but I got my mile in!! And made it back to the AR gym for the EX raid. AND caught the Regigigis.
They just came out with more of Gen 5 too, so it's new pokes for all who go hunting.
Mena (and everyone!): YEP !!! The Peloton was a wonderful investment for me. I love it and I LOOK forward to doing the workouts (most days), the challenges, the friends I've made, the new instructors, the rides, I could go on and on and on . Oh wait! I usually do! :: slaps hand to forehead emoji ::
on to me, me and all me ....
Podcasts continue and i"m doing well with them. I listened to another one yesterday so I think I'm up to 5/10. I'll have to double check that.
1/10/2020: This was kind of a recovery day since yesterday was the tabata day!
5k Race Prep on the treadmill ( 2 miles) a Peloton workout. It was actually good and I have it bookmarked for another time. It wasn't too bad as far as out of breath, killing me with intervals and very encouraging. It was laddered (if I remember correctly) and the run portions were never more than 2 minutes. Starting out at 30 seconds. Definitely bookmarked and I hope to go back to it to see/watch improvement as time goes on.
1/11/2020: 1.5 mile walk on the treadmill listening to a podcast. Then moved on to the Peloton with Sam Yo's
45 minute interval & Arms workout, then did
Christine's 30 minute Boomer ride from 2016 (fun to see how the instructor has evolved) all set to Phil Collins/Peter Gabriel/Genesis music. Definite keeper, followed with
10 minute cool down ride with Christine and a
stretch with Matt. Awesome workout.
So there we have it.
8 days until the new Challenge begins. It's supposed to work on improving our FTP. (I'll admit, that makes me a bit nervous. But I'm sure I'll be fine.) Then it will be even MORE peloton, peloton, peloton!!!
Make it a great day.
