Snowed In!

No skiing for exercise today. Within the last 48 hours we have had 35 inches of snow. The lifts are not working and they have restricted travel. Most of the workers were stuck up here for the night.

I certainly don't want to take a week off of training. I have still been doing my push ups and crunches every morning, although I still don't do the best push ups and I can't seem to do the triceps ones. But I'll keep practicing. Most of you know how much I really dislike working out in a gym, which is why I chose an outdoor boot camp.


The resort here does have a small gym with a fairly comprehensive weight machine, a treadmill, a stationery bike, an elliptical, a stair climber and a cross ramp (older version of an elliptical.) http://www.ellipticaltrainers.com/brands/precor_elliptical.htm

My father-in-law suggested the cross ramp. Steve wanted to get in a little weight work, so I thought I'd try it. I did a mile and 1/4 with an incline. It wasn't so bad. Then we decided to do the floors. There are 11 floors and walking/running each floor would give us a total of about 1/2 mile.

I brought my bands and did monster walks one floor, ran a flight of stairs, jog the next floor, flight of stairs, then side swipe the next, then jog, then walking lunches, then jog, then sumo squats plus grape vines. Then we finished with running the 10 flights of stairs together in one well.
