Sunday Night April 5th

Hello again.. As Tracy told you earlier in the week in her blog, this was a stressful week with two doctors out ill and us having to pick up the pace. This week on Friday, we graduated into the gym. We have been working out three days a week at the house with Phil Johnson our personal terrorist. Phil has had us working with three sets of 15 reps of calisthenics, free weights, medicine balls, bosu balls, resistance training and cardio. On Friday we graduated into the gym with about a 10 machine workout. Tracy and I were worried that we would hurt after the workout but we were pleasantly surprised. We felt great. In fact just the opposite, we both really enjoyed the intensity of the workout. We felt good afterward. Phil has added a fourth day to our workout program. We now do Tues and Thurs at home then Friday at the gym and Sunday we started a Cardio walk. Phil told us to warm up with a 5 min walk then blast walk for 5 min at very fast pace while monitoring our pulse to make sure we were in our target heart range and then do a 5 min cool down walk. Each month he will add minutes each week to our Cardio walk keeping us in our respective target heart ranges for longer periods. As for the diet, we continue to follow the good eating plan. I must admit salmon is starting to get boring at lunch every day so I am mixing it up more with more chicken and other fishes.
