Was better today - which I expected.

Made it five minutes on the rider before having to take a one minute break. Then made three minutes before another break. After that it was rougly one to one and a half on and one off. Was able to finish with a final minute and a half. Made a total of 400 strokes over the twenty minutes.

The first (and last) time I used the rider started back in the June of 1996 (has it REALLY been nearly eight years?! Sheesh) at my same current weight. I started off with three sets of 100, 60 and 70. So I'm already well above that. My first set was about 125 and my second set was 110. After a couple of weeks I was up to a single set of 500 strokes and after a month I was doing 800 strokes in three sets or 500 strokes in 12 minutes - which is a healthy pace on that thing. So I suspect that in a couple to three weeks I will be able to do a proper 20 minute HIIT routine on the thing.
