Sunday night: 310 jumps on the jump rope. When I used to work out daily in 2003, I was able to go 500 without stopping (except when I tripped). This 300 nearly killed me, and I had to stop every 50 or so to gasp for air. I am so out of shape.
Yesterday: approximately fifteen minutes pedaling my little pedal gizmo.
I brought my pedal contraption to work so I can pedal while I sit at my desk. I'm pedaling right now, actually, and have five minutes so far for today. I figure even if it's only five minutes here or there throughout the day, and only adds up to twenty or thirty minutes, that's a hell of a lot better than just being sedentary all day long.
My only problem right now is figuring out the best way to manage pedaling at work. My chair has wheels, and it's hard to keep it from moving while I pedal. I'll have it figured out here shortly.
And, hey, if I pedal throughout the day at work, it's easier to justify not jumping or lifting weights at home. I still need to work out at home, but a little activity is so much better than none at all. Right?
