Default Hey John, how's the Golf ? Pffffftttt...;)



I gotta' tell you, this gym stuff is pretty cool. Today for instance The Mouse
and I got on the computerized workout bikes and instead of the normal course,
we played a video game (new software just installed). Normally the machine lets
you pick a course and its in front of you on the flat screen. You have pacers
which you can set effort speed on, and other racers on the screen too. You
steer the bike and change gears as elevation and course conditions change. The
computer steps up the resistance based on the gear and incline, decline in
elevations portrayed on the screen. The new one today was like a video game
however, you chase dragons and coins around a fantasy city with ruts, and
elevation changes, ditches, etc. If you hit a hill in too high of a gear or to
slow, you pretty much stop and have to turn back and get a better run at it. It
was a great workout actually.

After I got off the bike, I did a top end circuit of three sets. Triceps, Bi's,
lats, pecs, and then wrist curls facing up and down with weights. Then I went
and did a quick long muscle set on the quad machine. When The Mouse came off
the bike (she rides longer than me) I put her through the circuits I had just
done, three sets each, a quick five minutes at the stretching web and done
before noon.. Yeah, time for a beer, just kidding.


Looking forward to spring and playing with my (new to me) 125KX, yeah.


Rowdy Mouse Racing, nuttin' like quality time with the kids!
