Yowza! Did you SEE that sunrise this morning? Simply breath-taking!
Here’s my workout……hard to categorize:
Power spin - Intervals x 30mins
Dreadmill - Interval sprints x 15mins (up to 10mph and 7.5% grade)
Weights - back/shoulders/arms
Plyos - Burpees & box-jumps on the BOSU
Core
I suppose it’s all ’strength training’????

Burpees on the BOSU are getting stronger… this must mean my balance and teeny stabilizer muscles are getting their due…. good.

Hey TeamSweat… Checking in on the ability to log multiple activities for one workout? There are so many more uses for this feature than just bricks. To align with fitness expert recommendations to do cardio and strength - and finish with stretching, it makes sense to green light this feature here. I’ve simply given up tracking the time I spend stretching because that would make it three separate posts.. (one for the cardio, another for strength, and a third for flexibility….)
While I’m happy the Sweat365 team is working hard, this is still my User-Wish #1.
Thank you!!

Phewf! Now that I’ve added the winter regime of plyos back into the workouts…..I am hungry ALL the time. I must remind myself to add more protein so I don’t turn into a nut-bar. If my blood sugar drops, I get wacky!!

Slow on the uptake today….. I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a trainer for the winter months…..someone who can push me (and STRETCH me, literally)… but I am REEEEALLY having a hard time paying someone to tell me what I already know.
I’m not being coy. I really DO know what I should be doing at the gym. My undergrad degree is in Human Performance and Kinesiology. I could probably sweat my way through any questions about the Krebs Cycle, ATP production, muscle memory, training specificity, functional anatomy….and yes, flexibility. I started a sport-specific training company, for heaven’s sake……..
And yet……. there I am……dragging my sorry butt around the gym…..doing whatever machine I feel like at the moment.
They say ‘knowledge is power’…… well, in my case… POWER is power. I can know all about it…… but on a sleepy, dark Monday…………yeeps!

I moved away from home when I was 17. Since then, I’ve never owned a scale. I’ve always thought it would bring about obsessive habits ~ or at the very least, serve as a horoscope of sorts. The number on the scale would pre-determine how my day would go, what sort of mood I would be in, and my general sense of happiness. I didn’t think I needed this added pressure.
It’s not that I haven’t weighed myself in the last 20 years. I’ve just relied on the ‘Health-o-meter’ at the gym for my horoscope, retrieving it on a weekly (or so) basis. (I still find it hilarious that the scale at the gym is called a ‘Health-o-meter’!!) 
But I’m an adult now….I’m closer to 40 than any other milestone year. So I’m thinking I should be ‘above all that’ now, and be able to use the information produced by a scale for what it is ~ simple feedback. I should be ‘old enough’ and ‘mature enough’ to handle a scale at home.
Right?
The ‘expert advice’ is so conflicting. Some say, ‘Don’t weigh yourself every day. Weekly is fine. (But only first thing in the morning after you’ve disrobed and expelled all bodily waste (was that PC enough?)) They follow the theory that when we weigh ourselves daily, it begins to foster harmful thoughts and obsessive behaviors. Plus, weight control and healthy eating are marathons - not sprints - and healthy changes happen slowly over time, so weekly is plenty… Hmm… good points.
Others say it’s helpful to weigh yourself every morning so you monitor and gauge your calories in and calories out. This camp extolls the benefits of ‘behavior modification’ through the feedback on the scale. After all, as adults, we should be ‘mature’ enough to have a healthy relationship with feedback. Right? Ummm, right.
Who knows. I used the trusty Health-o-meter at the gym this morning - and (gasp!) I even left my shorts and sweatshirt ON! (They must count for at least a pound!) :-) No surprises. Phewf!
But still, I’ve been thinking about heading to Target to see what they have in stock.
Unnecessary expense? Or, helpful tool for healthy feedback?
Anyone want to weigh in?
