As mentioned earlier, Mel, Dave Schneider and I finished our 12 week Body For Life programs about a month ago. Since then we’ve all sort of taken the time off. Dave & I played road hockey a few times, but the weather kept us away most weekends. I’ve gained a few pounds back, but the biggest change in the time off is my energy level, which has really dropped, and I miss what I had before.
So Dave & I renewed our gym memberships and went in to do crosstraining today, and plan to do it “every day” from now on. Of course, that means “every day we can spare the time” but it’ll be at least four days a week, and probably six.
The difference between my performance at the end of Body For Life and now is pretty big. My heart rate shot up almost immediately when I started the 20 minute crosstraining run, and I had to go pretty slowly to keep it down near my target heart rate. It was still better than the first time I got on the crosstrainer at the beginning of BFL(Body For Life) but I’m really looking forward to getting my wind back. I’m thinking it shouldn’t take long though, and after that, I’ll be just shedding off the pounds.
