The sun has been out and shinning all day long! PLEASE STAY THAT WAY!
I was on my way to the bus and thought that it was SO warm I could have ran outside. But then the wind started blowing slightly and I was on my way anyhow so I figured whatever. But I certainly could have been hitting the asphalt.
So I got to the gym and things didn’t look to well. While at the changing room I realised I forgot my sports bra (so I ended up using the one I came in with) and my lip balm was forgotten at home! That is a tragedy to me! I sleep with my lip balm under my pillow! I was considering taking a bus to the pharmacy down the road but I just had 45 minutes at the gym if I wanted to catch the bus home so I told myself I’ll have to survive.
Once I went inside the room was pretty packed (more than usual) and BOTH TREADMILLS WERE TAKEN. So instead I did the following:
- 15 minutes on the sweatmaster
- 10 minutes on the Cardio Wave
- Another 8 minutes or so on the treadmill (finally free!) running @ 11 km/hour. I was SO out of breath! Why is it so hard for me to run faster?!?
My cardio stats:

Time |
Average HR |
Highest HR |

36 minutes |
157 BPM |
197 BPM |
Its really hard for me to do another form of cardio that is not running, but I did enjoy the other two machines, especially cause I felt really strong while pushing myself. It was hard to reach a high HR on them! With running its just legs and hands moving and the HR is just a natural consequence. I also really felt my legs working! Especially from my knee downwards.
Strength
I did about 10 minutes of abs + stretching. Here is today’s routine:
- 100 crunches on the stability ball
- 50 reverse crunches
- 2×50 crossed leg crunch, 50 per each leg
Surprisingly, I did not feel the burn on the stability ball until the last 20 crunches or so(and I am usually really sore).
I just finished lunch an hour or so ago but am STILL starving. I am gonna grab an apple later.
Check out GAME PLANS and THE HITS later today. Its time for the weekly update!
