Backwards Aerobics

LifeFitness Elliptical, Hill (Around the World profile), Level 6: 30 minutes done backwards. I got my heart rate into the 150s at around the 9-minute mark and kept it between that and 164 BPM for the duration. With all the other work I do, I thought this might give my workouts something different to do. I felt this more on my backside, hips, and lower back than when I go forward, and my heart rate was about 10 BPM higher. A keeper on days when I don't run.

Son played in the Tracyton League playoffs yesterday despite being sick (his call, I'm not one of THOSE dads!!!), so no sled dragging tonight. His team won and will now compete in Thursday's game to decide 1st or 2nd place. Next week, my evening schedule will be back to normal.
