Cardio Day

Today was my next cadrio day, I wanted to try another bicycle that I had not tried before. Instead of the pedals right under you, they are more in front of you.

Actually this is the machine I used:

LifeFitness LifeCycle 2

I wanted to be there for 45min, so I decided I would read a Network + Book while I cycled LOL. I set the machine to hill cycle, I think that’s what it was called, it cycles through different settings of hills. It gives you 1 minute of down hill and 1 minute of up hill, I set it to level 8 and so it increases the size of the hill every time until it reaches the top then starts to slow down and up again.

After I was done It said I traveled 20.08Km burnt 353 Calories, my highest heart rate was 160, I put the book down every once in a while to get a heart rate reading.

While cycling I spent most of the time at 100RPM or higher.

Tomorrow I will be doing legs & back, this one I will be changing quite a bit, I want to actually workout my legs which are pretty skinny LOL, so I will be using some machines to heavy lift, and I will toy around with the back exercises and I will be sure to have some pull ups in there, I am hoping to accomplish being sore, as I had not really lifted heavy for the legs. We shall see what happens tomorrow.

Thank you for your time:

Mike
