5 a.m. gym jaunt

Good morning Just reporting in that I was at the gym at 5:05 and did my two rounds on the total body circuit. Last night I did 35 minutes on the bike. They have two different styles of recumbant bikes, one you can set for up to 60 minutes, the other one no matter HOW you try to trick it, it cuts off the counting at 30 minutes plus a 5 minute cool down. I had planned on 45 minutes, but didn't get one of those bikes. Yes, I know that I could just do another 15 minutes after the 30 minutes cuts off, but that would be way too SIMPLE !!! Mr Mo and I are making great headway in going through clutter and putting the house in some kind of order, so when I got home last night I dove into that project. We are accumulating a pile to go to the dump tomorrow! That will be exciting .. to have the stuff GONE .. not just relocated from one spot in the house to another. Have a wonderful day! Hugs, Mo p..s. I think this 5 a.m. stuff is really beginning to energize me. I feel wonderful.

Mo, I will tell you what my sister used to tell me when I was a gym rat. "You are an energy freak!" Isn't it amazing how energey begats energy? Make sure that you get one day of rest a week so you body can rebuild. Have a fantastic day, I'm off to the bike and my breakfast shake. Connie

Not to worry on becoming a gym rat!!! I usually take Friday and Sunday off completely from any gym activity. The 'planned' schedule is M-W after work 30-60 minutes cardio, T-Th the 5 a.m. 2 rounds on the circuit thing, then Sat a.m. 60-70 minutes cardio and 2-3 circuits ( it is an 11 minute circuit - 45 sec with 15 sec between machines). Enjoy the bike! Mo

OK ...I am soooo JEALOUS of your dedication to get up at 5 oFREAKIN'clock! I have dreams of doing it but man o man I can't get outta da bed then and make it too school by 7! My gym doesn't open til 5:30. and that membership expires at teh end of the month. I am looking for new options but my son is having tons of issues so I am looking for something he and I can do without his sister, I am too scared to leave her at the y-care place by herself...I am EXTREMELY overprotective of my kids. gotta get a new routine going... YOU inspire me. Nic
