Did cross-training today. Started with 20 minutes on the stair stepper, but I was disappointed because it was nowhere close to actually climbing stairs. At the end the machine reported that I had climbed 70-something flights of stairs, but in reality I would have passed out long before 70. I also rode a bike (level 5) for a 5 min warm-up followed by alternating 30 sec at 100 rpm and 30 sec at 60 rpm for 20 reps. (This was more like it!) The HRM on the bike read that my average was probably between 155-160 bpm for the 20 minute period. Followed up with 75 crunches, 50 each side leg lifts, 10 KB scissors, 1 x 1 min plank, and 45 push-ups. |
