June 23, 2010

Today's hike was 3.5 miles on sandstone mountains in Snow Canyon State Park which you see above. I actually think we crested this peak (we did 4) on the hike. It was a bit more strenuous than yesterday's but really worth it for the views and effort. I felt the effects of altitude today more than any other day but lived within my water supply. Today was another good day with one "extra" thrown in:
  • Metabolic Profile - really interesting results about the relationship between heart rate and the number of fat calories you burn versus muscle. They've given me a 12 week training program I'll start next week after I get a heart monitor.
  • Explorer Hike to Sandstone Mountains in Snow Canyon
  • Drums Alive - by far the "coolest" cardio so far (and loudest). Workout was accomplished by drumming on an exercise ball (4 around you) and groovin to the beat. A blast.
  • Kickboxing - I think this is Cindy's favorite class (she taught Hip Hop yesterday). There were only 4 of us in the class and we got a great workout.
  • Total Body Conditioning - Bosu ball comes back again with weights and figure 8's. It reminded me a bit of the strength training in my CRT class at home, but I was bushed after.
  • Still trying to decide if I will attend "Herbs for Holistic Health" tonight at 8PM. Might choose to chill out by the pool instead.

I'll be interested to see what tomorrow brings. I think balletone might be the most unusual.
