I decided to increase my minutes on the bike to 45 today. I was considering going to an hour but I didn't want to push it too much. I am having good luck varying the gears and playing with the resistance without any pain so that is encouraging. It was a good ride and I think I am getting close to training ride intensity at this point. At least I am sweating like its a training ride.
We decided to take the dogs on our walk today and that caught the attention of every other dog in the neighborhood. I thought that it would slow me down a bit but the dogs did great and they need the exercise too. I was hoping that my walking gait was becoming more normal but Kelly said that every once in a while she can see a very slight limp. I try to be conscious of how I am walking and work on keeping my stride as even as possible. I do notice that walking downhill causes a little discomfort which in turn causes me to favor it a bit.
As I wrote yesterday, I am going to start tracking my weight and body fat percentage. The Health-o-meter scale I have may not be the most accurate on body fat percentage but it does a pretty good job with weight and will at least let me know if I am heading in the right direction. I am going to check my stats each week on Saturday mornings when I wake up before I eat or do any workouts to keep things consistent.
Here is the rest of the workout today:
Pull-ups 6x15
Push-ups 6x20
I made sure to do some new hand positions and worked in some swim strength moves as well.
Weigh in:
160lbs
16.3% body fat
