Low intensity cardio training today followed by 75 mins of restorative yoga.

And I cycled on an upright bike at the gym! Normally I avoid upright Peloton bikes and only use the recumbent bike because I like to sit on the large cushion on the recumbent bike. The hard narrow Peloton seats make my sitz bones hurt. But it turned out that there is another brand of vertical upright bikes at the gym called Expresso and the seats are fairly wide and soft. I did just 1 mile. It took my 7 minutes 28 seconds. I do not have ambitious plans: I will continue doing just 1 mile every time I come to the gym for cardio, and will see if I can eventually cycle faster. After I feel comfortable enough, I will explore the bike. It has this huge screen and probably lots and lots of preprogrammed rides. What I really liked today was that 1 mile was not on a straight line: no, I was navigating a terrain and had to use the controls to turn left and right and sometimes rather abruptly. That was FUN!

Also did 33 mins on the recumbent elliptical with the chest press add-on and 18 mins on the rowing machine, covering 2000 meters. For the first time I connected the rowing machine to the app ErgData which will now track my workouts at the gym. In my apartment complex, the rowing machine is by the same manufacturer but really old, before Bluetooth connectivity, but I will manually add my workouts at home to the logbook in the app to keep it all in one place.
