I’ve been missing in action for what really amounts to all of 2011 so far. I’m on the committee and webmastering a medium sized convention coming to town in March and it’s been eating up a lot of my time. Still I’ve not been completely divorced from my own life.
Back in January I joined our gym at work, yes we have a one in our building just for us, but hadn’t actually gotten around to using it till this week. It’s not exactly like I’m inactive as I do cycle everywhere accumulating over an hour day on the average but still…
I decided to be easy on myself and rather than jump into serious gym stuff I’m taking it easy with thirty minutes on an elliptical trainer before work: 5:30a-6:30a. Ouch!
Ours are made by Life Fitness and probably offer far more than I’ve been taking advantage of so far.
The good news is that I’ve actually made it in all week and kept going for the full thirty minutes each time. It sure feels good.
Once I build the habit of showing up I’ll vary my routine and add some other sorts of exercises, but for now this is getting me moving in ways I haven’t had to recently. I can feel a bit of soreness from it, but frankly it’s not too bad.
I’m going to spend a bit of time at lunch studying the manual for this thing and see if can make me coffee on the energy I’m expending. 🙂
