Gym Is Open (Tuesday)

I did a quick gym trip this morning and just did my 45 min on the treadmill.  My weigh****chers leader gave me an exercise step today.  I have a routine for it.  I'm going to try it out tonight.  A trainer I had in the early days had me working with the step.  It kicks your butt. What did you do to move your body today? Lori

Well, I'm kind of grumpy.  My rec center (where I do my cardio/weights) is closed for two days while the electrical system is repaired.  I went to the rec center where I go for aqua work because I knew they also have an in-line skating machine. Went there today, and the in-line skating machine is broken!    I did 10 minutes of treadmill, then I tried their cross-training machine, but it's different from the one at my rec center and I couldn't make it work without putting a terrible strain on my knees.  I tried the recumbent bike, and again, my knees couldn't bend far enough to use it. I ended up doing a new weight machine that we don't have at my usual center -- it works the calf muscles.  Between that and the treadmill, I only did about 15 minutes worth of exercise today, darn it.  We are going to aquacise tonight, so the day isn't a total loss.  I'll try the rec center up the street tomorrow and see if their machines are more Kix-friendly (or if they have an in-line skating machine).  I miss my skating!   If need be, I can just do treadmill tomorrow, now that my mind is prepared for it.  Or, I can go to one of the daytime aqua classes.  I was so bent today that the in-line skating machine was broken, I couldn't wrap my mind around 30 minutes of treadmill -- not to mention my knees!  Kix PS:  It's such a nice day today, I just might take the dogs for a walk.

Hi Lori, I did 30 minutes on the treamill. I've been doing a 15 incline at 3.5 and I'll burn 500 calories in 30 minutes. I work up a real good sweat. I also did 15 minutes on machines. (((hugs))) Diana
