Today's Workouts:
Short bike & Skyrobics

Bike: 5.95 km

I usually just ride to a nearby Provincial park, and then home and change up the distances as needed. Today I felt a little different, I wanted to explore more of the city. I used Map My Ride route genius, typed in 6km, and it created a loop from where I wanted to start.

I used this short ride to test my bike adjust,nets earlier today before the long ride on Saturday. I adjusted the height of the seat, angle of the seat, for/aft of the seat and handlebar alignment. After reading a few articles about proper biking mechanics and knowing a lot about body mechanics, I figured I could adjust my bike quite similar to paying someone $100.00.

The adjustments helped greatly with power and efficiency. Having the ability to perform proper circular pedalling and eased the work on my legs, for endurance. It was a nice quick ride.

Time: 18:07
Speed: 22.2 km/h
Distance: 6.72 km
Fastest speed: 42.5 km/h

Skyrobics:

I have been participating in Skyrobics twice a week for close to 8 weeks now, missing the odd class. Skyrobics is an aerobics class on trampolines. It consists of an hour long class that goes through different cardio exercises, circuit training, strength (arms, legs & abs) training, and then relaxing stretches. All on trampolines which makes everything harder, and improves balance and stability. It's a great, fun way to burn calories. 450 burnt today.


Due up tomorrow:

Short run, 1.45 km, & medium swim, 600m
