I guess it has been longer than I realized since I've done any real cardio work. On my last few bicycle rides, I blamed the local hills for killing me. After getting on the stationary bike today, maybe it's just that I'm in really poor condition!
I started with the idea that I was going to do a body weight circuit today but was rethinking that since this is supposed to be a rest day in my 30 Day squat/push-up challenge. I hopped on the recumbent cycle for a warm up and to figure out what I was going to do and soon realized that I need to get some cardio work into my routine more often.
I ended up using dumbbells, my pull-up bar, my machine for triceps push downs and crunches along with a few more 5 minute intervals on the bike. After just 45 minutes, I felt pretty good--tired, but good. I guess this old guy is going to have to use some of this interval work more often.
(Heavy sigh!)
Oh well. It is a relatively small portion of my day and I really don't have the time excuse anymore.
It's said that you should eat well to look good fully dressed and exercise to look good at the beach.
Here's to being beach body ready for summer!
Ha! Last year I was happy not to be the fat American old man anymore!
This year I'm going for the fit American old man!
Be well!
