Started my new exercise "routine" yesterday. I will alternate days of longer intense cardio with days of shorter (still intense) cardio and weights and core. Yesterday was a long-cardio day. Today is belly dancing class, so Wednesday will be another long-cardio day, Thursday short-weights/core, and Friday long-cardio, and Saturday short and weights break Sunday, start again Monday. Yesterday I did 15 more intense minutes on the elliptical (~675 cals), then 15 min (100 cals)on the bike and stretched. Stretching made everything feel so much better!! I know this, but for the sake of time I sometimes skip and then feel soooo tired the next time I work out because I didn't loosen up my muscles. I am slightly afraid of bulking up in the hips/thighs with muscle (happens quickly if I bike regularly), but am wary about running due to knee soreness and stairmaster is out for that reason too....trying to think of other options to get off the elliptical. I am excited about having something new to focus on. I'll have that and studying for more exams---which is not weight loss productive.
