I am so sore today. I did the arc trainer for 30 minutes with alternating weights 5-30pds. That was 1.53 miles.

I tried running  but my legs did not want to run today, it hurt so I figured I better not push it or I would rip something.

So I went and worked my arms and abs.

Then I rode the bike on a light resistance for 15 minutes going 3 miles.

I did not sleep well at all last night. My husband has a cold and he sounded like a train all night. I finally went to the couch but I think that made me stiff.

I live in a bubble. What's an arc trainer? Is it like an elliptical? I think you were smart to listen to your body today and do some cross training!

Yes it is like an elliptcal. You lift your legs higher and no arm pulls on it.

I guess it is more up and down where the elliptical is more circular.

The gym people say it is the closest thing to running which is weird because I can't ever do more than 1.80 in 30 min, but I do always add at least 25 pds on avg.

Ya I'm sore.
