Tues and Thurs-1 mile swim

Wed and Friday- 25 min elliptical, 20 min stationary bike and leg workout..(machines)

Sunday- I do a mini indoor triathlon (sort of) 25 min elliptical, 25 min stationary bike and 1 mile swim with some leg workout (trying to strengthen my butt to help with my hip..at least that's what I have been told)

So have really been hitting the gym much harder lately. Increasing times and resistance on the Elliptical and Stationary Bike..Also, started an actual workout in the pool instead of just swimming laps.

Even today, I started doing some squats..so hopefully, all this training will get me back to running.

Of course, not sure what I will be doing for the next 3 months because Tax Season starts and I have taken on a second job as a Video Tax Consultant for Turbo Tax..so, my workout hours may drastically be decreased or at least altered..

I know i have been away from this for awhile. I have been struggling within myself. I have been getting some work out in but when the new year hit i said no mater what get back to the gym and start working out.

This week so far i have swam twice. Even got up before 5am to make it in the pool for 6. Been to the gym once but will be there tomorrow.

I am back on here. Will start posting again

Topic: RE: NordicTrack Flex Strider

Just to confirm I think you're referring to the NordicTrack FreeStride Trainer. I don't own one but my friend does and I've used it in his basement many times. It has a totally open stride so you can stretch out as much as you want rather than being constrained to the typical 18" or 20" on a regular elliptical trainer. iFit is pretty cool too. It's free for a year then you have to pay a monthly fee. But you can choose any location you want in Google maps and it's as if you are there working out. Pretty cool!

Monday - rest day

tuesday - 30 min elliptical (including 1.92M Switzerland path), 50 minute Pilates jump class

Wednesday - 40 min elliptical (including 4M Antarctica track)

thursday - 30 min elliptical (including 4.6M Galapagos track), 50 minute pilates jump class, possibly 50 minute pilates stretch class

Friday - 30 min elliptical (2M Ile Vache Marine island track), 30 minute 9 rounds boxing session

Saturday - 50 minute aerial yoga, 40 minute elliptical (4.6M eTingvillir, Iceland track)

Sunday - 40 Min elliptical - 3.5M Chamonix, France track)

I bought myself a flex strider from Nordic track in December -- the ability to see different parts of the world while working out (and have the adjustment for appropriate elevation gains/losses) is very motivating; I'm currently working my way through various parks. I find that my stride is faster than they anticipate in their timing so I just make up the remaining time to my 30-40 minute plan by doing laps and alternating elliptical striding and stair stepping). I'm adding this to my Pilates and boxing workouts.

Only disappointing thing is my fitbit doesn't count my elliptical "steps" correctly. I can log the activity time but not the true step count.

The end of 2019 is approaching..as a now non drinker, New Years Eve day is spent trying to stay up and watch the ball drop then heading to bed to get up the next day to watch college football..

Started doing more cardio with an elliptical, stationary bike and still swimming. Of course, still not cleared to do any weight bearing exercises.

Hopefully soon..
