Working out at the LAB is all the latest in cycling
training. At my house, well, I work out
on The Dinosaur. Twice a week I do a
workout on this old beast. I even had to
buy make shift straps to hold my feet on the pedals. My friend Mary gave it to me because the
batteries always fell out. I fixed that
by buying a power cord that plugs into the back of the control panel.
It took Jared and me a few weeks to figure out how to
translate the old resistance levels to create a good workout for me. But he's come up with some really good ones
that develop strength and endurance.
Jared emails me the workouts because I have only been going to the LAB (which
is 45 minutes away) 2x a week.
Example workout: 10 min WU. 1@8min,
1@9min, 1@10min, 1@11min, at R7, one min. rest between. Increase personal difficulty level with 1=6,
2=7, 3=8, 4=9. 10 min CD
The biggest problem I have with working out at home is that
I get really bored, can think of lots of other things I could be doing, and
it's sort of lonely. However, I am
dedicated to my cause and know if I don't workout nothing will happen. So, this old Dinosaur and I are going to
pedal along.
