Let's talk about the beautiful and amazing my-new-favorite-thing EVER the row machine! I was on it today for a smooth 30 minutes, seriously, the minutes melted away. I think the reason why is because unlike the elliptical and treadmill, where I have to psych myself up with party jamz to power through, the row machine just takes even, concentrated resistance. It still gives me the burn, and it uses my upper body and shoulders- things that need more using! So anyways... instead of hot party jamz (like the TREADMILLIONAIRES mix) I was able to put my iPod on shuffle, and row to Magnetic Fields, sexy soul music, Beach House and other such delightfulness. I didn't have to have a stomping beat, which is a nice change of pace!
On the row machine I can imagine myself in a boat. This is also a kajillion times better than imagining myself, I don't know, running somewhere? Sometimes I would close my eyes for a minute and pretend that is exactly where I was... on a boat. In a placid lake. Aaahhhhhhh..... It helped that the row machine is sort of in a corner by itself, and the sun was right on me while I was using it. So good.
Definitely getting Spring Fever over here!
