As you may or may not know I enjoy a nice warm up before I hit the weights when I go to the gym. The month of July became the month of the bike.
The first day I started this adventure, I did not like it at all. My whole undercarriage felt numb, and I didn’t really get my heart rate above 110 the whole time. But, I am a stickler for routine, so for the rest of the month – cycling I did.
Every few days I would go up a level. Well really about once a week I went up a level. I found myself looking forward to the hills I would climb when I picked the interval setting. During those times my heart rate really got up there and I was sweating! Have I started enjoying the bike? YES!
The muscles I was using were different than last month(which was the treadmill), and I felt sore, but I never felt like I couldn’t get back on the bike and get my cardio going every morning. The sides of my glutes were sore, as were my calves.
The month of the bike was a glaring SUCCESS! And now that the month is over, I have to pick a new machine to warm up on, whatever will I chose? Is it ok to be kinda sad about it? I’d say so. Anyway, next month will be the month of Rowing! Wish me luck…… . . . .
