Move Over Lance!

Alternate title that is a random movie quote - Die you Nazi Spin B#tch!

OK, I have never been a really big fan of the stationary bike. If I am going to go to the gym and do cardio I am going to use the treadmill and rarely a stair climber, depending on the model.

Keeping that in mind, last night I thought I would ride the bike for a bit. Switch up the routine a bit. I'm getting two workouts in a day and sometimes after the morning one I need something more low key.

Yesterday morning I ran up Signal Hill. The landscape here is very flat so there is a hill that was constructed for radio antennas and such. I sprinted up it, and would jog back down. 8 times.

I figured that the bike might be a good workout without completely destroying my legs. So I hopped on it, turned on the iPOD (Linkin Park) and started pedaling. 30 minutes later, drenched with sweat I finished. I don't know why but itwas enjoyable. I think that maybe I'm going to make it part of my regular routine.
