Back to spin class this afternoon. Normally I would go on Saturday instead, but the instructor for the saturday morning class just isn't one of my favorites. The one who taught the afternoon class today IS one of my favorites. She is from Venezuela and always plays all kinds of really high tempo Latin and Samba style music. She is a tiny little thing (like 4'10" maybe?) and has run several iron man triathlons (2.5 mile swim, 112 mile bike, and 26.2 mile run), so she is in incredible shape. She always has a huge smile all class long and makes everybody want to try to keep up, even if we know it is futile...

Anyways...52 minutes, max HR 88% of max, avg HR 77% of max 755 calories burned. Tomorrow morning is lawn mowing time and Sunday we are probably going to try to get up early and do 30-35 miles out on the roads before it heats up too much. Have a great weekend and keep moving y'all!

What a great instructor TxBatman. You are probably their most loyal member at cycling

Snoopy, backwards elliptical? thats interesting, I've never heard of that.

I swam 1 1/8 mile today--an extra 1/8 because there was time and the water was so sparkling and refreshing. Was aiming for an extra 1/4, but the foot felt like it would go into cramp mode if I continued. It was still great!

LOL

Going backwards on the ellptical was pure accident...at first. I had a hard time intially getting my feet to go in the right direction...forward

It took me awhile to figure out (yes, I'm a slow learner ) how to get on the machine and go forward instead of having my feet move backwards.
