This week has obviously been a bit tricky. Grandma is still hanging on in there but honestly we treat pets better with end of life care. It just feels cruel. Anyway, I got a gym session in instead of a run on my way to the hospital. It was a day late so on weds. Iโm useless at logging it all. I forget to press start between machines & never change the exercise ๐คฆโโ๏ธ warmed up on the treadmill then hit the cross trainer & step machine. Those are not magic stairs, more like stairs of hell ๐คฃ๐คฃ I only got to about 5mins before the jelly legs kicked in. My hill work has been so rubbish lately I really felt them. Iโm hoping they are going to work wonders at improving my running.
Well done Stacey. That’s not necessarily a bad thing that you struggled as it highlights how much room we have for improvement. I don’t say this as boasting but what’s possible. I did 45 mins and 200 floors. So loads of room to improve and I think they will make a big difference and the benefit is it won’t be as strenuous on the foot or body as a whole. If you can let me know in future time on each machine it can help me work out the pts. For reference it works like this.
10 mins easy running = 3pts
10 mins elliptical med-fast – 3pts
10 mins stair climber – 6pts
So you can see the benefit of getting on the Magic Stairs. Again, sending best wishes to you and your family in this difficult time.
