Fitness, Day Two

We had our second workout session yesterday, and I can feel it today, especially in my shoulders and thighs. On the other hand, I did survive the workout. It was cross-training, with aerobics and strength training stations. I kind of liked it better, because we had lots of variations and only spent 30 seconds at each station. We made it through the first round of stations (there were 15), and when we finished, our instructor told us to "do it again!" So we did, only this time we were supposed to "step it up" and do each excercise faster. Well, I was beat from doing the first round, so I didn't step it up too much, I'm afraid. Our homework is to walk, run, or jog a mile and time how long it takes. With my knees, I know I'll be walking, but I'll try to walk at a faster pace than just a leisurely stroll.

We also had our first nutrition session and learned quite a bit about fat and calories. One really useful tidbit I learned is that a 5 oz. glass of pino noir is only about 70 calories. I know what I'll be drinking from now on!
