Richard Gibney's 365 Days of Fitness: Day 322

Day 322 Tonight Nicole and I worked out together. We were both tired and hungry at the end of our work days but we needed to get some aerobic work in. Nicole is preparing for her black belt test in Muay Thai Kickboxing and has been working really hard lately. Her coach Philip took her to the brink yesterday, so she was feeling pretty beat up today. I was feeling pretty tired from the hurricanes I did yesterday, so I figured some steady aerobic work would be good for both of us.

Today's Workout:

Expresso Bike: 7.2 miles with Various Inclined Sections (28 minutes)

Although we were both tired and hungry, this workout did what it was intended to do. We wanted some challenging although not too intense steady aerobic work. As I've mentioned in the past, I'm not a huge fan of steady of aerobic work but at least when you're on the Expresso Bike you kind of feel like you're going somewhere and have something to look at.

The other benefit of the aerobic session was that it left us nice and warm after finishing which allowed us to get a little deeper into some stretching and rolling afterward. As I mentioned before, we were both feeling sore and stiff from our workouts yesterday, so getting some blood flowing through the muscles and restoring some length was more than welcome. Tomorrow I'll get back at lifting the weights, which will seem some tame compared to the fact that Nicole will be fighting people for 90 minutes tomorrow night.
