susandennisFirst of all, several of my muscles are not that happy with Nadia. Interestingly just above my right knee is killing me. My left knee is not at all unhappy. And I can tell that my situps and twisting situps were done correctly. Ouch.
But... today...
Treadmill - 30 minutes - spikey intervals. I have gotten a little treadmill sloppy with my hands. They do not like to swing at my sides. They like to rest on the bars. But today I swung them for 5.5 minutes - zero elevation, up to 3 and then down to zero. And tested my heart rate. 135. Then I did the same for the next 5.5 minutes but with my hands where they like to be. And tested my heart rate. 117.
Now, I'm not entirely clear on the implications of heart rate but I'm guessing that if I work it higher, my stamina will benefit. I did not realized that the difference was so dramatic.
So... from now on, I will either go with hands swinging OR feel really really guilty about letting them rest.
The Seahawkeons are back on the street today but mostly sober. It's nicer.
