I reached the ten thousand step goal again yesterday. I didn't get many steps during the day, but I was able to put in lots of steps in between the weight lifting sets.
I work out in my garage, and after doing a set of pull-ups, for example, I do about ninety seconds of quick walking to let my muscles recover and keep my heart rate up.
I also get lots of steps that way and use more calories this way. I came up with this technique after I started having issues with my knees last year.
Before that, I used to do regular weight lifting workouts, which meant that I was simply resting in between sets.
I was doing two weight lifting workouts per week and one calisthenics cardio workout in addition to the weight lifting workouts.
Calisthenics workout had a lot of exercises that put strain on my knees, so while it was a great cardio and lower body workout, it did cause problems.
As I approach the big fifty years old milestone, I have to adjust the way I work out.
Tomorrow is Valentines Day, which means a nice meal and no workout 馃檭
