Monday and Tuesday - Turbo and spin

January 31, 2012

Hi everyone,

Since posted her Turbo rotation I was inspired to follow along. I did

Cardio Party 1 on Sunday, and BOY did I totally forget how much kicking is done

in the kicks section!

On Monday I went and got my annual physical. My shoulder has been bothering me

and my elbow, while not as bad as it was before, still complains every now and

then. So of course I was diagnosed with tennis elbow and possibly tendonitis in

the rotator cuff somewhere (the pain shoots up my neck to my ear and around my

clavicle and my shoulder blade). YAY, except, not. I made an appointment with an

ortho next week so I'm hoping I can get a shot or something and with rest I'll

be fine.

But of course stupid me later that Monday decided to do Turbo Jam Cardio Party

2. I just won't reach as high with my left arm or do hook punches full strength,

right? Yeah, no. I was feeling it this morning so I hopped on the spin bike.

Spin bike shorts are a must for me!! I recently went and bought a pair off the

clearance rack at my local bike store for $35 ($35!!!) and wow, it's completely

different. Sure, it feels like I'm wearing a diaper but I was on that bike for

40 minutes and could have stayed on longer had I not had to go pick up my son. I

blasted my music and just had a ball. Another thing: the right music is also an

absolute must. I don't know if I can spin to a video if the music is just

ho-hum.

It was like a revelation. I'm actually glad that my shoulder forced me into

doing a different cardio workout because I couldn't believe how much fun I had

on the bike. I hope that lasts.

Have a good rest of the week!

Namiko
