I brought my 18-year-old son with me for my workout this morning. We wanted to see how well he could keep up with his ole mom. We started with a HIIT on the recumbant bike. I had him start at the exact same time as me, and up the resistance at the same times so we coupld have a perfect comparison. I was pedaling faster than him the whole time, so I kept ahead of him on the miles. I was working! Then, suddenly, at the last moment, he pulled ahead of me! I could NOT figure it out! I finished at 5.38 miles, and he was at 5.41...and I KNOW I was pedalling faster than he was at the end. Finally, we figured out that he didn't lower his resistance as far as I did on the cool-down, so that's how he pulled ahead. Still, I was happy to finish 0.6 miles ahead of my usual mileage. :D
We immediately followed up the bike with a full upper body workout. I did pretty good, but at the end I bonked a little, since I hadn't eaten breakfast and I needed fuel. Joshua couldn't lift the weights that I was lifting - they were too much for him. HA! HAHAHA!!! Well, if he tried it a few more times, he would probably kick my trash, but in the meantime...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! |
