More exercise...

didn't do my session yesterday morning as planned so did it late last night...found a program called "Elliptical Training for Endurance" so starting with the basic level for that as I like to have a structured approach to what I'm doing...the same people also have a program for "Elliptical Intervals" as well so will add them in later...

30min sessions is broken down into the following:

5:00 Level 3 Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) 3.5*
5:00 Level 5 RPE 5
10:00 Level 6 RPE 6
5:00 Level 5 RPE 5
5:00 Level 3 RPE 3.5

*RPE Scale:
1) Rest
2) Very Light
3) Light
4) Fairly Light
5) Somewhat Hard
6) Hard
7) Hard (heavy)
8) Hard (heavy plus)
8.5) Very Hard
9) Very Hard Plus
9.5) Extremely Hard
10) Maximum Exertion

the middle 10 minutes definitely met the RPE of 6 as I tried to maintain 100 strides/minute...
