No Class Today, Cardio Workout on Treadmill Done

I forgot to mention in my previous post that the trainer told me not to go to the spin class this morning. Apparently the usual instructor is on leave this weekend and she reckons the replacement is nowhere near as good. Consequently she suggested that I not go to the class and we are set to go next weekend instead. I am looking forward to going back to that class, the trainer said that I did very well last time I went to the class. I am, however, also grateful for the fact that my knee will have an additional week to heal and I can get some cardio under my belt before I go back.

So, in order to make some progress I went into the gym this morning with my partner and her cousin. They decided to do a body balance class - a mixture of yoga, pilates, and tai chi. That is a bit too slow for me and so I got on the treadmill and went for a decent walk. Felt good too, 50 minutes at pace, although I stayed away from doing any running. I finished off with an abs session, I need plenty of work on that part of the body and a few sit ups on the Swiss ball was a good way to finish off - I find that working out my abs on the Swiss Ball also has an effect on my back - seems to tighten things up and help my posture a bit. It does need some work.

Not much else to report, tomorrow morning the three of us are heading into the gym for the 10:30 body pump class. This should be good, a nice way to work out all the muscle groups in the body without going too far. I'm looking forward to it, and I think I will try and keep the weights fairly light as a lot of the exercises will test how far my knee has come in terms of being fully repaired. I'll let you know how I get on, and of course I will let you all know what the outcome of our determinations on finance are this weekend.
