Week 6

I've been working out on the new elliptical for SIX whole weeks now . . . . it's gone amazingly fast, workout-wise (but not work-wise, that's a different story hahaha) --

and I'm up to the level 5 setting.  I started out at level 1 six weeks ago, and it winded me something BAD the first time I used it.  My workouts for the first few days were super short, but it's fairly easy to get the hang of the elliptical.  It's different from our Nordictrack ski machine, as in:  much easier!  But it does give a good, smooth, non-jarring workout -- way better than a treadmill.

Here's the week's recap:

M -- 10 mins

T -- 20 mins

W -- 30 mins

Th --25 mins

F -- looooong walk from Yongsan University up and over the hill down to Yeon-hi Dong and to the Hanguk Factory outlet, probably a 60 min. walk IN HEELS. (I live and work in Seoul, Korea, that's where the interesting place names come from!)

Sa --25 mins

Su -- 5 mins

Mondays we need to start our first classes at 10 am, teach six hours with a two-hour break then are done at 6 pm -- so it's hard to get a longer workout, getting home so late.  Sunday I just climbed onto the machine w/ bare feet, so I could say "I did something every day this week" -- and I did!  YAY!!!
