<\/a>\nAdd some salt, pepper, freshly sliced garlic and fresh thyme.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n I finished up on the bike (about 40 minutes or so) and did some stretches. I was glad to see that the Nike App included some stretching at the end of the 45 minute workout. A quad stretch:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stats:<\/strong><\/p>\n Time: 1:20<\/strong><\/p>\n Calories Burned:\u00a0 674<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nBut first on Wednesday night I worked out at home.It had been a long day at work and I wasn’t really feeling like working out.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nOnce again, an example of one of the many excuses I could think of for NOT being healthy…and I did it anyway. Michael hopped on his bike first and I worked out to the Nike Training App next to him. This time I did the “Power Drill.” Part One:<\/p>\n<\/a>
\n45 minutes of ass-kicking! Holy moly! This was a hard one for me. First, there were less “Recovery” breaks (not that I usually use the Recovery time to rest, but it seemed harder). Second, there were a million Toe Touches. Ouch! I was dripping in sweat. Part Two:<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nThird, the Flutter Kicks were BRUTAL. There were so many of them too. It seemed like the whole workout was Flutter Kicks and Toe Touches. And Part Three (oh look, more Flutter Kicks!):<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nIt was pretty much the hardest workout I’ve tried since I’ve been using the Nike App. I did about 40 minutes on that and then hopped on the bike. In the 40 minutes I burned 334 calories.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nNot a bad number. Not only that I was covered in sweat. Good workout.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nI watched last week’s episode of Heavy and started the current week’s episode. I was disappointed that the 600 pound guy wasn’t really trying to lose weight. He snuck food into the camp, didn’t workout like the trainer’s showed him and when he went back home he gained a bunch of weight back. I know that you can’t force someone to lose weight–that they MUST want to do it for themselves. But for this guy–losing weight for his kids wasn’t enough motivation for him. It was just sad.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nAnd the “Pretzel Stretch” that I do every time I run.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
\nMichael baked sweet potatoes for dinner, made salad (which I immediately devoured) and then cooked the steak.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nDinner was delicious and we watched Top Chef while we ate. I was feeling pretty good with no stiffness or pain in my knee. It was nice to decompress after my workout. I was happy that Fabio was back (even if it was just for one episode).<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
