Excellent workout this morning!

I started with the Matrix (stair climber), manual program, levels 1-3
Stats: 62 cal, 389 steps/24 floors, 12:00 min

I started with level one and worked my way up to level 3 in the first couple of minutes and carried on from there. I think the calibration is accurate on this machine. I was sweating and felt like I worked really hard, which typically means that my caloric burn is less than I anticipate it to be. So the fact that I think I burned more than 62 calories makes me feel as if the machine is accurate and I only burned 62 calories.

I moved on to the elliptical from there.

E21, random program, level 6
Stats: 262 cal, 1.79 mi, 30:00 min

I did 10 minutes at a pace comfortable to me (around 3.6-4.1) and then did 10 minutes at the level the trainer recommended for fat burn (around 2.9-3.2) and then split the remaining 5 minutes and cool down the same way.

After that, I hit the recumbent bike.

B6, random program, level 7
Stats: 96 cal, 2.71 mi, 18:00 min

It was very hard to keep the heart rate down at level 7 but I still tried. I just pedaled verrrrrrry slowly.

I did some quick ab work for about 5-8 minutes and then finished with some stretching for about 8-10 minutes.

I had little to no pain or discomfort from my hip or sciatica today so it's been a very lovely start to the day.
