Day 70 - First Good Workout
Today I had did my first good workout since my surgery. I rode my mountain bike on my indoor trainer at a fast pace for 30 minutes. I worked up a steady sweat about 15 minutes into the ride. I don't have a heart rate monitor, but I'm guessing I got my heart rate up to at least 130 to 140 beats per minute, based on experience. Before I got injured I would do intervals where I would stand up and hammer the pedals for 20 to 30 seconds at a time, taking my heart rate to 180 bpms, which is my maximum heart rate. While it was nowhere close to my maximum it felt good to get my blood pumping through my veins, my heart, and my body. I can't wait until I am able to stand up and hammer those pedals again like old times.
