The Motivation Is There

For the third day in a row, I have decided to use the elliptical machine to keep fit. As I mentioned on my last post regarding this subject, I said I would upgrade the time of calory/cardio by 5 minutes in the several days to come. I have decided to do this at the end of the month so that during this month I get used to a regular time frame which is beneficial for me if I want to improve, I have to master one time frame before moving onto the next one.

Today, I managed to stay above the 7 km/h frame during the free run on the standard difficulty. I think that I started of too quickly which I then felt after a while since I was more worn out than I should have been, nevertheless I was then able to maintain a constant speed I was comfortable at. However, since I see this as too easy I have decided to increase the level of difficulty by one and keep the same time duration and minimum speed. This will help me develop more physical stamina for the proceeding workout which was calory burn this time around.

I did this for 10 minutes and decided to change from last time's course to another one so I can test myself with different challenges. I managed well on this one since I was able to endure the course with a certain ease however my speed was quite variable even during the same difficulty parts of the course which I think I can improve to be more accurate since I would be preserving myself some energy by doing so.

Next time I do this (hopefully tomorrow), I will be doing cardio for 10 minutes varying from the course I did on Sunday and a 5 minute free run before that which I will do for 5 minutes on a level 2 difficulty.
