Hi out there Muskateer!

Quote:
20 minutes on the elliptical using the "personal trainer" option...including going reverse on the thing! So it was about 7 minutes going forward, 2 minutes in reverse, 5 minutes forward, 2 minutes reverse, and the rest forward (including the cooldown). A friend of mine that goes to the gym too said that doing it backwards helps reduce your hips? Interesting.....


Dang Kath, I didn't even KNOW those things could go backwards! Goodness gracious! I am really bad at the elliptical but I want to get better. Look at you go! You are amazing.

Let's make a pact to have a great exercise week this next week. My knee feels a little weird since my long hike but I can do some good swimming at least while I rest it. VIVA LA US!

Orchid

Orchid....it's a pact! It's weird...I love going to the gym now! How odd indeed! Hope your knee feels better soon!

Day 5
37 minutes elliptical (PT mode including reverse!)

And I was thinking of JK while working out today...Snoop Dogg's "Atomic Dog" came on the radio....funny how my mind wanders to my cyber-friends while working out! Love you guys!!

Quick & easy day at the gym....just woke up this morning wanting more sleep! Maybe I'll get a quick nap before work today (yes, I have to work today...none too pleased about that!)

Thursday was a day of rest

Friday, I literally had to drag my butt to the gym...just wanted to stay in my comfy bed...but I went to the gym instead. Actually gave me energy for the rest of the day.

5 minutes warmup on elliptical
60 minutes weights & abs

Felt a little better after my workout too.
Back to the gym tomorrow.
Hope to get some swimming in on Sunday...going to my s-i-l's house to let her dogs out (who let the dogs out? guess it turns out I will!) and she said her pool's open for me too! Watch, it'll rain!

Off to make some sort of supper as I just got home from work....gotta love my hours! At least I have the weekend off

Peeking in to check your progress -- and you're doing great, girl!!! Keep it up!!

And just in case you think this summer stunk in this part of the world, everyone else thought so too! Not the normal summer so hang in there -- maybe next year will be a real one!!

Louise,

Thanks for stopping by! Yes, the weather has been anything but "summery" lately....today when DH and I went to my s-i-l's to let out the dogs, it was too cold to go in the pool and overcast so the solar cover wasn't doing much good. Bummer!

Well, off to bed now....gym in the morning and another lovely day of work (where did my weekend go!?)
