I'm pretty happy with how my training is going so far. I did the first week on my new program, and my body and mind feel fairly natural. I don't feel stressed, overwhelmed or dreading the next day's workout.
I was tired today before I worked out, but that was because I had to get up a couple hours early this morning and drive Reid to a 6:40 am hockey practice.
Today I had 1 hour and 45 minutes on the bike, followed by a total body weight training session.
The ride was good, I watched the movie "Mr Woodcock". I can really tell my aerobic base is building and the weight training is helping. On the bike, I had to put it up about 2 gears and I tightened the tension just to keep my heart rate in the 125 bpm range. I generated more wattage at a lower heart rate than last week.
I did the weights at home on my home gym. I much prefer doing all my training at home, as opposed to a health club.
When I do it at home, it feels like I'm at home with my family, even if I'm training. For example, I lifted weights and watched "American Gladiators" with my daughter. It was good family time and I didn't have to miss a workout.
Plus, I hate the inefficiency and extra time required to drive to and back from a health club.
