Wednesday, 12/21: I worked out today--did you? |
|
I did 35 minutes on the elliptical and then went to the weight room to work my legs.
Being away for 2 weeks was tough, and I'm sore after yesterday's upper-body workout, but of course I'm glad to be back.

3. 4.5 miles on the treadmill, 15 minutes on the hubby's cardio-glide. |
|
Not sure I like the cardio-glide, but it's something different.

Do you have any evidence for it? I know that my daily walks work really, really well to keep me going, and the fact is, I'm a creature of habit. I like routine. I won't do things just for the fact that they're different - I have to have a reason to do things like that.
And my body seems happy with walking and pilates.

8. If you do the same thing over and over again |
|
your body get used to it and adapts. People often do the same thing over and over again and plateau. Once you change your workout a bit, for example switch from treadmill to elliptical, you body isn't used to it and it's a new challenge. This tends to break the plateau. If you hit a plateau with your goals, consider changing things like that.

There are a lot of things I'm limited on - elipticals are out, jogging's out, and until I get a recumbent bike for home, stationary bike is out. I have rotten knees and I'm hyperflexible - my connective tissue is really stretchy. My physical therapist and I are pretty comfortable with this routine - she's not pleased when I injure something ELSE....
Could I do like 3 days or a week of something not the treadmill and go back to the treadmill - assuming I ever plateau - after 4 months, I'm still going farther, walking faster, and trimming - or do I have to change for a month or two?

10. If it's still working for you, and you're not bored, don't change. |
|
But it's true that you will probably hit a plateau, and when that happens, you need to mentally be prepared to make a change. Start thinking about new possibilities now, like maybe start saving up for a stationary bike for home or something, so in a few months when you see your progress start to level out, you'll have something new to look forward to! :hi:

my discipline has been lacking in this area.
Did 20 minutes on elliptical at high heart rate
Then 25 minites on treadmill at moderate heart rate
Abs Leg extensions
Good workout.
