This BLOG record my various recumbent cycling activities, including cross-training. In March 2014, I turned 72 years old. My goal for 2014 is to remain as fit as possible. For cross-training, I am trying to get back in running shape. I haven't run for many years. I am trying barefoot running, and thus far I am enjoying it.

Upper Body Workout with Sprint 8
Today, I combined an upper body workout with the Sprint 8 routine on my I have a cold coming on and was somewhat reluctant to start this, but I did get through okay. The Sprint 8 is a 20 minute routine on the recumbent stationary bike. After a warmup I started a serious of eight 30 second all out sprints, separated by 90 second rest periods where I pedaled slow. I definitely was spent at the end. Arguably, the Sprint 8 should be done before the weight workout, rather than after. This is a very good strength/cardio combo workout.
