Starting to break upper body into segments so that I can get to work on time. Weight training sometimes seems easier than anything else, I wonder why?

Isela rode 15 miles in 1 hour good 15 mi / 01:00 15.0mph pace
Did the class, gave it my all, my shirt was soaked at the end. Had to listen to my own music....there is nothing more aggravating than asking a teacher to put one 1 song and being refused because "you're not working hard enough and well, only if y... read more

Isela did a weights workout for 40 mins greatBody Pump Class – 00:40
Shorter session doing the new release...the squats is a killer but not as bad as the triceps, can you say ouch! I have such weak arms and the dips kill. Only one thing to do: keep doing them until I get better at them!

I so admire your crosstraining! I am in a running-only rut I have got to get out of. I love my running, don't get me wrong, but I would be so much better off to include weights/classes/swimming/cycling/etc. You're a great example of making the rounds on different workouts.

Hey - have you heard people say that Body Pump is no good for runners? I get told it constantly, go figure. I still go though :)

Seriously? I don't see why it wouldn't be good for runners. It gives a nice over all body workout. I love it but then again I love lifting weights.
Thinking about it though, they also say that running is bad for us, LOL. And sitting on the couch is too, hehehe. Oh well!

Isela swam 2150 yards in 44 mins great 2150 yd / 00:45
Fantastic! I just need to keep going at least 3 times a week and I am sure I'll shave a few seconds more from my time. I know open water swimming is going to be different and the current is going to affect my time and my swimming but one can only try t... read more

Great pool workout. Yeah, I've heard all the "Open Water Swimming" stories, looking forward to it this season. Might just work out for us once in a while where the current is in our favor, as I've heard about the NYC Tri :). Happy Saturday.

Outdoor run!!! I am was so happy when I went outside this morning and the temperatures were more in the normal side of things and the air quality not so crappy. I love running outdoors, it doesn't seem like a chore :).

Isela rode 12 miles in 47 mins good 12 mi / 00:47 15.3mph pace
What a workout! Hubby set up my bike on the trainer so I can start getting some saddle time (rather than just spin time). It was hard. 10 minutes on the trainer kills, at 30 minutes I wanted to get off, it took a lot of mental power to stay there until... read more

I had a borrowed trainer last winter and used it exactly twice. :-p I'd much rather go to spin class! Good work sticking with it!

The class was tons of fun. Music that I recognize and moves that I can do :).

Isela rode 12 miles in 45 mins great 12 mi / 00:45 16.0mph pace
Excellent class! I was huffing and puffing all through out. Intervals are always a good workout for me. The instructor threw in some triceps workout in the middle--killer! Her music also was super--pop! I love it when they play today's pop music, I am ... read more

Totally agree with the music part- good music pushes me to keep going so amen to that!

Went back to the pool today. My little surgery felt great and didn't bother me at all.
First time wearing my new Sable goggles! They are amazing!!! I have spent a ton of $ on regular goggles and they all turn out so-so. When someone recommended the S... read more

Nice to have you back in the pool. Great way to be back with a strong swim. Cool Sable review. Just purchased a pair of Aqua Sphere goggles, so far so good.

Nice job, Isela!
1 day agoShe is always giving us a hard time with the music, if she doesn't like it, she won't play it. It is not like we ask for much, just one song. She is a good teacher she just doesn't like to play any of today's music :(. Once the Les Mills RPM classes start though, I think we will be better, they provide the soundtracks hehehe
about 19 hours agoShe has mentioned a couple of times that she will makes spin to classical music. Now, I love classical music when I am at home just chilling but not necessarily when I am working out ;-P
