Great workout again today.
Did 20 minutes plus 5 min. cooldown on the elliptical using the interval method - started at level 5, then increased it to 6, 7, 8, 9 one level every minute, then started again but at 6 and each minute for 5 minutes up to level 10, then started at 7 - 11, then 8 - 12 - that took my 20 minutes and after the 5 min. cooldown I had burned 365 calories and 2.3 miles - excellent workout.

Then I did my lower body - had a doctor appt. so couldn't spend much time with weights, but I did the lying-down on belly one where you raise your legs starting with 15 reps then increased the weight then 10 reps then increased the weight then I could only do 5 reps, then I reversed so I finished with 12 reps of the lightest. Did the same with the leg extension, then did 3 sets of the one where you sit, lean forward and spread your knees out - increased weight each time, and every 3 reps I held for a count of 10.

Feel great, but my blood pressure is up and my doc wants to keep an eye on it.

Gotta run - I'll report in on Monday.
