I'm so lucky to have a spouse who will fit his gym time around my schedule. It makes it a lot easier to go when I know he needs to go too, and it's nice that he helps me lift the weights that are too heavy for me right now. An hour on the treadmill at a 12% incline, alternating between two brisk walking speeds. I can tell it's an okay workout because it's hard enough that it makes me want to quit early. I tried .25 of slow running at the end, and I think that the jiggling of my belly is maybe what makes the tightening come. Unfortunately, I'm not big enough yet for the support belt we bought. I also did the incline bench press machine since I don't want to be flat on my back and the empty bar is hard enough that it's pointless to try to do it at an incline. It turns out that the machine without any weights is just the right amount of resistance as long as I do my arms separately. Yes, my arms are that wimpy. And I got the waterproof mp3 case from Bonnie in the mail today! She's the best. I'm so excited to try water jogging.
