I woke up with a tight lower back, so I thought I would give my body a break and cross train. I think running on the treadmill so much is too much repetitive motion. It was nice to move in a different way, even though it took a lot longer than simply running does.
AM I went to the health club and did the elliptical for 1 hour. I started at level 7 on random, and increased a level every 15 minutes. My arms probably got a better workout than my legs did.
PM After putting the kids down for a nap, I hopped on my spinning bike for another hour of cross training. I increased the resistance on my bike every ten minutes. My legs were definitely feeling it by the end.
