  • 50 minutes spinning
  • strength training circuit (arms, obliques, quads)

Needed a good workout to keep up the conditioning effort, but I wanted to rest my running muscles so I don't buildup the mileage too fast and get injured.  There wasn't a spinning class when I could go this morning and I canNOT for the life of me workout hard on a stationary bike by myself like some of you crazies, so I found this recording of a live cycling class online.  I went into the empty spinning room and used one of the bikes.  It was actually a pretty good workout! 

Avg HR 150 (I got it up to 172 during some of the sprints)

There is just music for awhile at the beginning, but eventually you hear talking.  It's easier to understand as time goes on.  I'm glad I found this so I have something to fall back on when I can't make it to spinning!

Thanks Rachel! BTW, you are one of the crazies I'm talking about when you just hop on the bike and go at it for an hour...like um... just this week!

HA! Well, I left out the part that I've been trying to finish a book that I've renewed 3 times and can't online anymore...and is now racking up fines (because I'm too lazy to take it in and renew it...just finish the darn thing!) So, I was motivated to just sit there, spin, sweat and read :)
