Exercise update

[amul]

Yesterday, I ran 1.33 miles in 30 minutes on the treadmill (settings: 3.0 mph, incline 5, "forest trail" routine). Today, I'm going to the Sivenda Yoga center (finally) and will be doing 90 minutes of yoga, possibly followed by 30 minutes on the stair-stepper.

I want to really focus on endurance conditioning, but I'm not sure if the stair-stepper is a good "alternate" for the treadmill. I know you're supposed to alternate muscle groups.

Later today, I plan to write out all the things that I want to do with my day and/or week, and try to see if there are actually enough hours in the day to do everything, even assuming that I was disciplined enough to do them.

And I really need to find time for a proper blog entry about my current emotional state.

Good to know! What about the distance between cycling/stairmaster? Where does that fit in?

As I said elsewhere though, I'm definitely not in good enough shape to be doing 90 minutes of yoga AND a 30 min cardio program in the same day. So, for right now I'm switching between the 2.

Mix it up some; if you're going too hard one group of muscles, you won't be able to go as far as you expected to.

If you don't have a good idea of how far you should be able to go yet, don't much worry about it; just keep at the exercise and keep motivated.
