Well what do you know, the gym bought me the perfect prezzie while I stepped out for a bit. It's super cool and exactly what I want.
Can I do it right now? No, but what a treat to work up to. Today I went in for standard issue cardio for 40 mins at target heart rate which for me is 137. That worked out to 500 cals and 2 miles per hour. Now all I have to do is plug in time and let the spread sheet do the rest; as long as I use the cardio program on any of the toys I will be able to determine progress by seeing how many "bars" of resistance is being used to keep me there. I can now achieve my goal with 1-2 bars.
Oh well, at least there is plenty of room for improvement.
For the next 4-6 weeks I'm going to keep doing what I started a bit back. The good news is that missing time didn't cost me any gains in strength, I picked up with the exact same workout and weights though I might be a touch sore tomorrow it was fine.
Keeping in mind my PT, I've been doing;
Abductor (modify the position on this for PT)
Adductor
Glute kick backs
Hanging leg raises
Chest press
Lat pull downs Leg press
+PT at home
+walk outside for 2-3 miles
Most of this is "girly" exercise (to me) which I've spent most of my life avoiding and turns out they bite back when you ignore them. So now I do them. Core rules.
NOW I get to add playtime at the end which I did today to get acquainted with my new best friend.
The basic setup: (nevermind, per usual this site won't accept images today)
SO: I found a video out of Mexico that shows some of the variety of things you can do. It seems like this is timed class of some sort, in my gym the apparatus is just there for anyone to use as they wish. There are a lot of things you could do for crossfit and full TRX stations along with a huge assortment of resistance bands and untold ways to hook them up. Now I can do all of my PT here.
Anyone who has ever bounced a ball off of a wall (me) will love the bouncing medicine ball station. I played with that for 100 bounces and other than the one that nearly got away and could easily have broken my nose, is hella fun. The woman in the video is chicken.
