My plan for today was to start a running interval, however we woke to about 4 inches of snow on the ground and it was still snowing. I stretched in the morning and did my weights, lunges, crunches, and push ups (!). I went into work a half early so I could leave at 4:30pm so that after work I could go to the rec center. I still have 6 punches left from a 20 punch pass I bought a while ago. Even though it was super packed I found an elliptical and did that at level 5 for 30 minutes, kept my heart rate in between 145 and 160 the whole time. It felt so good to sweat and get my heart rate up.
Sometimes I hate about gyms, everyone goes in the morning before work or right after work, therefore there are never any machines available. One thing about this city rec center is that they only have 4 treadmills. Can you believe that!!?? They want you to pay $400 a year, but there are only 4 treadmills! That sucks. They only have 4 ellipticals too. Well, the YMCA is pretty good, they have like 8 treadmills and 7 ellipticals, which are usually being used, but they rotate well. We used to go to Fitness 19, they have like 10 treadmills and 12 ellipticals, which there usually was one open to use and never a wait. Working out at a gym versus working out outside, I'm always trying to find a good balance. I love being outside, but sometimes a gym is just so nice to use. When I start using a treadmill I get addicted. I really enjoy having it timed and telling me exactly how far I've gone, plus my heart rate is pretty exact. I wish I could just buy a nice treadmill to have at the house.
I'm happy I followed through today.
