I'm Alive!

Contrary  to the state that the cadaver is in that I recently dissected...cool, I know...I am alive. Sorry for the disappearance in the last week. Sometimes life gets to me!

Anyway, I tried something new at the gym today! It's called an expresso bike. Every heard of it? It's a road bike simulator. So you hop on and there is a screen in front of you. You pick a ride depending on difficulty and distance, and then ride away! I often struggle just working out on a exercise bike because I think it's boring and I don't get as good of a workout as I do when I'm out riding my own road bike or in a spin class. But this was great! I was sweating a ton and stayed captivated as I was able to watch other riders around me, see my power and cadence change and monitor my heart rate. It was pretty sweet! 

I'm usually a little wary to try something new when it comes to working out. Ok - I rarely if ever do it! I did try Zumba earlier this month and wasn't a huge fan. It was a nice change, but just isn't my style. I like my workouts so I stick to them. But changing up workouts is soooo important. I need to do better with that, so that my muscles keep having to try to work in different ways, ya know?

So I guess this post is basically to encourage all of you to try a new form of exercise! Even if it is just once, or for a short time. The worst that can happen is that you don't like it so you don't do it again...right? So go for a jog, try a new class, lift some different weights or try some yoga!
