This afternoon we had terrible rain so I decided to do today's exercise on the spinning bike instead. Before I started I put on the heart-rate-monitor to see what effect I would get on the spinning bike. I also placed the bike in front of my desk and turned on the xXx action movie starring Vin Diesel as it is a bit more boring to exercise alone on the spinning bike.
I did 1 hour and I had an average HR of 145 so it turned out to have a good effect. I also spent a lot of intervals standing on the bike as this is a position I need to improve on when going up those real hills on the road bike. There is no doubt I will spend a lot of time on the spinning bike during the winter.
As usual we finished the day with the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred routine. Today I went straight from the spinning session and upstairs to do the J30Shred routine and that was hard, however I feel that the routine is easier to follow now then 7 days ago so it seems to have an effect.
My total number of workout hours so far is now 10 hours. As my goal is to do 30 hours of workout in 30 days this means I am on track so far :).
Tomorrow, Friday, we are going out for dinner with some friends and then to a movie. So we might not get the workouts done tomorrow. This means I need to put in a long bike ride Saturday morning to catch up :)
The first factor to note about abdominal exercise machines is that as a general rule, doing free of charge exercises without the benefit of a machine appears just as powerful or far more successful than buying bulky, sometimes expensive equipment.
