6.75 minutes does not a workout make!

hey! i had a fab day at the gym, yeah it was hot, yeah it was tiring, but i now feel fab!

did 2 miles in 22.35... woulda been quicker if i could run straight thru, but needed to break for water.... must learn how to drink and run!

then did the crosstrainer for 35 mins.... was really easy, time flew by, thanks to the music channel playing some good beat filled music.... particularly liking "Man-eater" by Nelly Fertado and "Voodoo Child" by The Rogue Traders. There is nothing more annoying than when the music channel plays some dire ballard that has no pace to it.... grr!

then went back on the treadmill for my cool-down... (which generally isn't much of a cool down as i'm still in the mood to work, but it was too hot today)... so i'm walking at 4mph on incline 7.... and a woman who had just arrived started running on the treadmill next to me... for 1 minute, 35 seconds.... then she got off.

odd, i thought

then she went on the crosstrainer

ahh, maybe she was doing a mega-speedy warm up, thinks me

5 minutes, 14 seconds later.... she stops... and leaves!?!

very confused! (was i!)

so she put in 6minutes, 49 seconds of effort! wow!

there seems to be a craze at my gym for this kinda "workout".... i've seen several woman arrive and leave in the space of 10-15 minutes.... is this a new way to exercise?!? i'm confused.... would there be any benefit to "exercising" like that?!

i don't get it!

TaTa *H*
