Just got back from the gym. Scott is in the shower, rinsing off all his sweat - he runs 3 miles as fast as he can, and his time has been improving regularly. I mostly hop on the elliptical machine (it's easier on my knees and hips than actually jogging or using a treadmill) and try to go as far as I can in 30 minutes. Ususally we get done around the same time, which is nice. I have been hitting 2.35 miles in 30 minutes pretty regularly - today I made it to 2.4, which felt good.
The Y has this program called Fitlinxx which is a "computerized system that attaches directly to existing fitness equipment, adding an extraordinary “intelligent” dimension to the workout experience for the first time.
FitLinxx “learns” users' programs, “coaches” them individually through their workout for better form, safety and confidence during every exercise, and “tracks” their progress over time."
This interested us, as we are lazy and need to be told what to do. So, we set up a session with a personal trainer on Wednesday to learn how to use the equipment and the Fitlinxx (does it really need to have two x's? What's that all about?) system. I'm looking forward to it. We were discussing what our personal goals are, which will be helpful when we are figuring out what type of routine to settle into with our exercising.
