30′ Nordic Track nonstop

leave a comment »

Yesterday was for some reason a very low-energy day for me. I couldn’t bring myself to do the Nordic Track, but thankfully the Pilates lesson was there and that cannot be skipped (without paying the fee anyway—and Jennifer was ready to go). Got through the Pilates without event, and today, after putting it off and putting it off, I got onto the Nordic Track, determined to do 30 minutes on its timer no matter how many stops I had to make. (The timer augments the time only when you are skiing.) I did the first minute okay and thought I would try for 3 minutes. When I got there, I thought I could do 5-minute intervals: 6 stops in all. But at 5 minutes, I realized I could make 6 minutes, which would reduce it to 5 stops.

By then I was moving along well—not at a high speed, but moving—and Robinson was just getting through the earthquake, so I decided to go for 10 minutes. Once there: 15 minutes. And once there, I thought I might as well go for the full 30 minutes.

So I kind of backed into it, but I did it, and I’m pleased. And I do seem to have more energy today.
