Well I got on the elliptical with a good book and my head phones and set the cross train reverse routine to do 35 minutes and I ended up doing 40 minutes without even realizing it!!! haha I was jamming away and into the book I was reading and I stopped to check how much longer Ihad to go and was amazed that the time was stopped at 35 and I had just been going along. I knew it was 40 minutes and a few seconds from my Polar Monitor.
Then I got on the treadmill and did the hill routine for 18 minutes. For a total of 1.25 miles and an incline average of 3.
I walked home and was getting set up to do No More Trouble Zones by my favorite Jillian Michaels but an add caught my attention and I decided to switch things up! I put on Red Zone Toner Workout with Nicole Eggert. It was a 20 minute minute routine with her and her trainer. It was different than what I am used to but I feel it was a nice change of pace. They combined dynamic moves to focus on your shoulders, arms, core and legs. I did not feel it was as quite of a grueling workout as JM so I am not sure yet if I will do it all the time but it was a nice change of pace. For example I just did not feel my arms were worked enough but my legs and butt are sore so I know different muscles got worked than I am used to. I think I would do the video again on a moderate cardio day like today.
I did not burn as many calories as I do when running but I still did not do bad

Hello your blogs are really good!!
I was wondering where you can get one of those watches that shows the workout info..
Hey Kevin thank you!!! Your story is so inspiring!
I use the Polar FT 7 heart rate monitor. You can see it right on my blogs main page at the amazon store. I commented on the very one I use. It is great because it is such an accurate story of your workout. It lists your heart rate high and low, calories burned, and if those calories went towards fat burning or fitness training. I also like how it stores the date from your workout and displays it in a bar graph.
