Gym is open (Wednesday)

Good Wednesday everybody! I walked 6 miles today. I also worked my hams and glutes. lying leg curls flutter kicks hip extensions hip abductions bridging Now I am going to go lay in a hot bath until the water goes cold. Then I will refill it with ho****er and soak some more! What did you do to work your muscles today? Seven

The Cybex Monster is: Cybex Total Body Arc Trainer (gym also has Cybex Arc Trainer - which is the one I used today - didn't know the difference til I looked it up tonight.) http://www.cybexintl.com/products/CV/C610A/c610a.aspx I did 20 minutes at level 1 set on the "Weight Loss" setting. Then played with it a minute here and a minute there on other settings before settling on 10 minutes at level 2 set on the "Interval" setting which varies the intensity throughout the workout. This thing is interesting. Level 0-1 is x-country skiing, Level 2-3 is elliptical....up to Level 9-10 is climbing. I guess how it adjusts the leg things varies by setting. I did try 1 minute at level 9 while I was playing. Doesn't seem to have aggravated my leg (back actually) at all. We'll see how it goes. Tomorrow, warm-up and then upper body weights and abs. Sunday, I'm going to go to try their Salsa exercise class. Chatted with one lady today who says it is a ton of fun. Kathy

When you called it a 'monster' I thought you meant it was a monster of a workout. I didn't realize it looked like one too! I watched the video demonstration and holy cow! That is one EVIL looking workout! Seven

It actually felt pretty darned good! ;) I'll try the Total Body one on Friday to see what that is like. Tomorrow is simply an upper body and abs day. Kathy

Seven, 6 miles is so great! Good for you. On Wednesday, I did 15 minutes treadmill and 15 minutes stationary bike. Then my upper body workout. Lori

Good workout. I don't think I will be going that far again for a few weeks. I was so worn out yesterday. Seven

Six miles! Geez, you go girl! Anyway, 50 cardio dance class followed by upper body weights and ab work.

Wednesday I did 1 hour of H20 aerobics. Thursday I did 20 minutes elliptical & 20 minutes recumbent bike. Friday AM will be a 1 mile swim (40 minutes) Saturday will be snow skiing all day Sunday will be yoga Eileen (gotta break this silly plateau)
