Despite today being Saturday I still put in 2 cardio sessions for a total of 90 minutes. Once I get going and the TV is on there is no stopping me. It’s a lot better for me to do cardio while watching TV than eating Cheetos.

Yesterday I must have spoken too soon. I wrote that cardio was feeling like it was getting easier and easier and I could actually do it at a higher average heart rate and burn more calories. Boy, was I wrong! Tonight I felt like I was about done after 10 minutes. Then I just ground through it and managed to put in my 60 minutes but it was terribly painful. I don’t know if it’s just general exhaustion or the fact that today was leg day at the gym and I did plenty of leg presses and leg extensions that probably wore my legs out. I guess we’ll see how tomorrow’s cardio will go.

It seems like the elliptical machine is getting easier and easier for me. I used to run the Precor EFX 546 at work at almost no resistance and nowadays I’m running it at a resistance 12. My home elliptical I use on level 4 now and I have no problem running it for an hour with 145 avg heart rate. I sure feel like getting off of it at times but I just keep on going. It’s kind of fun running on the elliptical and watching Biggest Loser last chance workouts at the same time thinking how much easier and better I have it than those guys/gals.

Tonight I was running out of time to put in my 60 minutes of low level cardio so I have decided to do 45 minutes at a higher pace instead.
