Day 90

30 minutes of elliptical & 10 minutes of rowing.

Thursdays are a wildcard day for me - i've occasionally skipped exercise, or swum, or made stuff up.  Today was a pretty good made-up day.

I did elliptical for 30 minutes on level 15 at ~60rpm -- got me good and sweaty and supposedly burned a bit over 500 calories.  I tried to deliberately use my arms and shoulders to relieve my legs -- it went okay.

Then, hoping to give a little more attention to my core/back i tried a rowing machine.  I don't know how much it did my core or back, but it certainly hit my shoulders hard.  Just doing 10 minutes was a challenge -- i did it on the hardest setting (10) and probably averaged 27 strokes per minute.  That supposedly burned off another 130 or so calories.

In all, a good cardio workout that only hit my shoulders particularly hard -- hopefully i'll be able to do boot camp tomorrow.
