My first Spin class was Monday. I liked the workout and will be back for more. Tuesday was an eye opener. I never realized how much I slouch. After the trainer got me straightened out (LOL), I made a conscious effort to squeeze and apple between my shoulder blades during my daily hike, while working at the computer, walking around the house, but most importantly, during my Stairmaster workout on Wednesday. Although my Stairmaster goal for the week was to go 5 miles and I’d planned to stay at Level 5, I was feeling strong, probably because my new posture makes it easier to breathe! I ended up doing 5.5 miles (75 minutes), 3 miles at Level 6. Friday, I took the usual Body Pump class, then did 40 minutes of Spin (self-directed). Because of a crazy busy weekend, Eric and I only went on a five-mile hike, but I increased my pack weight, so I felt like I was still pushing the envelope.
Next week’s Stairmaster goal – 5 miles at Level 6.
