bike and gym

Biked maybe 7 miles in two legs, to work and later to gym.

Precor Elliptical, 30' @ 20/20 incline, 12/20 resistance, the middle 20' with two 2-lb. handweights: 3945 strides, 418 calories, average spm 131.5.

Upper body weights: chest press and fly, lat pull down, row, shoulder, front pulldown, some other thing.

Also, and I haven't recorded these before, but crunches, by golly, on a slanted board (second up of three or four angles), no wonder I look like I've borne children, 75. I stopped somewhat because RDC and I were meeting in three minutes but also because ow. However many degrees I lift my upper torso, it's not many. I see people on that apparatus where they're upright, bearing their weight on their forearms, and lifting their legs, at all, straight not bent, some of them past 90 degrees. That is not me.
