On Wednesday, I planned to swim, but Mother Nature had different plans. Torrential downpours and lightning tend to close public pools, so I didn't even bother to stop to see if they were open. Instead, I went to my apartment gym and tried the new elliptical's "Complete Body Workout" or whatever it was called, which changes what you're doing on the machine every minute or so, with the following options: lift toes, lift heels, bend knees, push bars, pull bars, forward stride, reverse stride, stationary (feet on sides). So, a certain combination of those is presented on the screen of the elliptical and you follow along. I watched the season four finale of Oz and changed up my cross training for the day. It was pretty fun, and I did feel a little sore the next day - a sure sign it did something! lol.
