Morning ladies,
What a February day! Looks like rain all day. At least no tornadoes. Anyone in our group have tornado weather last night? Hope everyone is okay.
I brought the Prevention article and will post more from it. I tried that yesterday and lost it all. I made it to the fitness center Monday night and did 30 minutes on the elliptical. I worked up the intentsity level to work a little hard for the same 30 minutes. Last night, I walked the dogs for 30 minutes. I noticed that I was able to walk much faster so I guess my legs are getting acclimated to the terrain.
I have a form issue on the elliptical. Unless I really concentrate, I find myself naturally going to the balls of my feet more than on the heels of my feet. Which makes the tendons along the bottom of my foot ache and also above the achielles area. I don't have this problem with walking. I'm not sure if its the foot pedal style or what. If I concentrate I can lead off with the right leg, push down with my heel, roll to the ball and then back up with my heel but then it doesn't work the same on the left leg. I do shift my weight from side to side. Too bad there's not someone at the center that really knows how to do it correctly.
Lilion - Great job on getting back on the IM.
for a good WI on Saturday! I think you can change up your IM workouts and still benefit from the concepts of the Prevention article. And still doing your 20 minutes. So, you are not defeated from boosting your metabolism!
Barb - Is your oldest settling down to sleep again? I'm about to boot dogs out of the house because Dixie thinks she doesn't need to sleep at night either!!!
Carol - You are going to have such a great time on your cruise. Wish I were going with you!!
Debi - Hope you're feeling better soon!!
Better get busy.
to all!
