cardio | bike commute

More cardio for Martin! Today I increased the incline just slightly on the elliptical trainer from 10 to 12. 12 is what I used to call an active recovery workout for whatever that's worth. As a bonus my IT band felt great.

Then I rode to work and back. And today my left knee felt fine on the bike.

cardio | bike commute

I got a little motivated today.

I go through spurts of this every time I'm injured and can't do the activities I really want to. instead I throw myself into some alternate/cross-training/rehab activity. It usually doesn't last long.

At the gym this morning I did a little cardio on the elliptical trainer and then did it again at lunch. I know, EXTREME. It's how I roll.

The IMA is an incredible facility. After my lunch cardio session I spent some time in the sauna. I would LOVE a sauna at home.

Did I mention that I went to the eye doctor (that's optometrist if you want to impress people at a party kids) this morning? I think I finally need glasses. Just another overt sign of aging! Now I get to be that guy who loses his glasses all over the place as my memory fails as well.

I just went super mellow on the elliptical, the goal is not to hurt my IT band and prolong this already too long recovery.

stretching | walk | hot yoga

I got to the gym this morning but immediately had no enthusiasm to work out so did some stretching instead. As usual, I needed it.

After work I hit up Breathe Hot Yoga again for what was more of an abbreviated Bikram yoga class. Good stuff. I have so much to learn.

On my way home I walked rom the bus stop and during my walk I was actually scared of my knee! Argh... being scared about an injury is no fun.

walk | hot yoga

An awesome day really, it feel like fall is here.

Went for a walk with Shelley in the morning and then since I can't do the things I currently want to I decided to try some hot yoga in the afternoon. It was great!

Turns out Breathe Hot Yoga has a location at 19th & Madison and they have free parking. And they have a fabulous discount for new members - two months of unlimited classes for $99. Done.
