Summer is now here! This past weekend was the Memorial day holiday which is traditionally the start of Summer (here in Texas at least). I hate summer weather. I usually just dread the arrival of it. The only bright spot in it, is that morning traffic is so much lighter that I don't have to leave as early for work. This year though I am really feeling a bit excited though as it will be my final summer to have to get up and go to work. Next year if I get sick of the heat, I'll just throw my camping gear in my car and head to the mountains for a break. But I still have to get through this one. I am feeling though that the light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter. I've just over seven months to go until I will be retired! Once I get through this summer I will be in the home-stretch.
I enjoyed this past holiday weekend. I worked on a few DIY projects around the house. I drove to the big HEB store in Waco to do a good grocery shopping trip. They have a much better variety of vegan options there. The Gym was also open all three days so I got 3 good workouts in. Stairmaster (1200 -1800 steps) treadmill (45- 60 minutes) and rowing machine (15 - 20 minutes) My total workout time on Sunday was 1 hour 55 minutes. I am really enjoying the rower. It is a total body workout. I had initially thought I would just max it at 20 minutes each session, but I feel it is so beneficial that I will take it to 30 minutes. So I think for the summer I will aim to workout Saturday, Sunday & Wednesday evening.
Saturday and Sunday :
- Stairmaster - 1500-1800 steps
- Treadmill - 60 Minutes (3 miles) 5 minute warm-up, 30 minute 15% incline, 20 minute -3% downhill, 5 minute cool down.
- Rowing Machine - 30 minutes
- Stairmaster or Treadmill - 30 minutes
- Rowing Machine - 30 minutes
