Day 86 – Week 13 – 13 mins

Had an excellent session on the bosu this morning – jigging about to Gwen Stefani. I worked up a proper sweat and really felt like I had done some good. I reckon I’m just starting to touch on enough exercise now, to start making a bit of difference.

It constantly amazes me how easily you can get your heart rate up on the bosu, even when you don’t feel like you are doing that much. I mean – it’s fairly clear that jumping on it with two feet is going to do the trick, but did you know – even balancing on it and then just lifting your leg up to the side (very slowly or you’ll fall over) does it as well.

And I know this due to the unexpected joy that comes from wearing a heart rate monitor – who knew that a strip of rubber around your chest and a wristwatch that looks like it came out of a 1980’s cereal packet could be so much fun!
