Thurs 1/7

Aerobic/mace work - 12 rounds on the 5 min
40 mace turns @ 22lb
7" rapid step ups - 30 sec right/30 sec left alternating

This method netted a more desirable heart rate range, turns for ~2 mins + 3 mins step ups per 5 min block totaled around 22 mins mace turns and 38 mins steps.. mace and music help break up the monotony, and rapid step ups with arm action is kinda like salsa dancing (not that I'm any good at it) ?

 

[strawdog]

Gotta see you Salsa dance, Bret!

Gotta see you Salsa dance, Bret!

Susan talked me into a dance class A few years ago.. They taught the Rumba a little bit, salsa dancing a little bit, but mostly it was swing dancing. It was kind of fun, but I'm not interested enough to actually practice and remember anything.

And no, you don't really want to see me do salsa dancing.. haha
