I left work later than I usually do and by the time I got to the gym for my workout, it was busier than usual so there was wait time for machines. My trainer had given me instructions to work on chest & shoulders, which was great because my legs were still achy and tired. I did do one leg machine and boy was that difficult.
For my pre-workout warm-up, I decided to see if I could increase my time on the elliptical. Remember, on Friday, I could only do 2 minutes. Yesterday I doubled it and did 4 minutes. Yay! But, boy was it hard, especially since my legs were achy. But I powered through and made it to 4 minutes. I briefly wondered if I could make it to 5 minutes, but decided not to push it. ;)
After my workout upstairs on the machines, I came downstairs and did another 30 minutes on the treadmill with an incline of 5. I still don't know what that means, but it must be good because I kept looking at the people running/walking on the machines around me and most of them had it set at 0 or just at 1 or 2.
(So I just Googled it and I need to work on my form. I hold on to the rails and while I don't lean back, but stay straight, towards the end of the walk, when I need to push through to the end, I do hunch my shoulders and lean forward a little bit. It's just that when I don't hold on, I feel myself moving backwards and I think I'm going to fall. I'll work on not holding on.)
I made a workout playlist for my iPod and I am totally one of those people on the treadmill that starts swaying and dancing to the music. I don't care, whatever gets me through it, right? LOL. :)
