With the warm weather finally truly upon us, Live Longer and I have decided to take advantage of it and spend some time with our mother….nature while getting a little cardio in.
We started this effort by taking a hike and continued it by walking the track, running the stairs and doing lunges.
Sounds pretty impressive, right? Let’s get into the details.
The hike was both low-key and low-incline and our reward was brunch so we were able to completing it was pretty simple.
“I didn’t even break a sweat,” Live Longer told me.
The same was not entirely true on our next cardio adventure at the local high school football field. Although the track was simple, the stairs were work.
“How many times do we do these?” Live Longer asked.
“I usually do a set of ten, do the track for a bit, then do another set of ten,” I advised.
“Really? Aren’t you afraid you might miss a step?” she asked.
“Surprisingly, no,” I told her and added, “We’ll just do a set of five this time. Two more.”
“I’m already breaking a sweat,” she said.”
“Better a sweat than a bone,” I replied.
After our first and only set of five we walked around the track a few times and then decided to close out our training with lunges across the field. To ensure we completed this task we opted to start in the middle of the field and set a goal: a glass of wine.
“That was good. It’s like we’re training for an event,” Live Longer observed.
“Yes and, based on our end goals, it appears we’re training for drinking,” I quipped.
