I had one of those afternoons where I was dreading the gym. As of late I had been getting to the gym around 5:10. However today I stayed at work late, I was mostly just avoiding the inevitable... the hour and 6 minute routine that I do on the elliptical. The thought of it was just too boring to bear. But I had an epiphany when I got to the gym. Why don't I take my own advice and do a different routine to make things more interesting. Instead of doing a whole hour on the elliptical, I decided to do the StairMaster, elliptical and treadmill. The StairMaster is tough, and that's partly the reason why I never do it. However after my weekend hike, I felt like the StairMaster will prepare me better for the next hike. I haven't run on the treadmill in a while either. For some unknown reason to me I've been avoiding doing a really strenuous run. So today I faced my unknown fear and just did it. I actually had a good time at the gym today. Both the StairMaster and treadmill were difficult enough to feel new and exciting. Plus I get to count today's workout as half way to my goal of trying 2 different exercises this week.
Daily Journal:
I ate about 1420 calories today. I burned 600 calories on the StairMaster, elliptical and treadmill.
