One speed!

Saturday we took off for a nice long family bike ride with the kids – pulling one in the bike trailer and the other on the “3rd wheel” behind the bike. They’re always good for adding some resistance to our cardio work outs!

We did about 19 miles.

My husband and I were both walking funny afterwards, so I suppose that means it was an effective work out! (Either that or the bike seats really hurt!)

Sunday I got some really great, completely unplanned cardio over at my dad’s place. He’s got a huge yard that worked out perfectly for my daughter to practice riding her bike without training wheels. We just don’t have the right set up at home to safely bike ride, so the kids rarely get to experience this kind of freedom… and this kind of practice.

I chased that kid up and down the property, dozens of times, trying to keep up with her as she got the hang of this new skill. She knows nothing about riding slowly… it’s all full-speed ahead! Hilarious!

I got a serious work out in just trying to stay with her, take video and prevent any major crashes! Who knew?! I think I should make a new “Run While They Ride” work out video!

Monday I did a sprinting work out. I felt the need to burn calories and melt fat! I’m not really sure how long I was out there, but I did intervals of 10 x 100 meter sprints, with half jog and half walk back to the starting point, followed by a few seconds of rest. I believe it was around 15 minutes… maybe a couple more.

Good work out.
