My gym is holding free intro to reformer Pilates classes for groups of four. You can sign up for one class. I have signed up for Friday. Can't wait!

Today, I had a personal training session, but exercises I could normally do fine felt unusually hard for me. I wonder if it is because I took extra 5 mg of Zyprexa when, at about 2 am, I still could not sleep.

But then I did quite a bit of cardio and felt fine. To wit:

25 minutes on the ski erg

27 minutes of the recumbent bike

10 minutes on the Stairmaster. I tinkered with the controls and now know that if I put whatever this number measures to 30 (and not 20 or 25; the default is 20), I am able to reach the low Green 💚 zone as measured by the Orangetheory wristband and app. Next time, I will start with a minute or two at 20 and then push ahead at 30 to get a good workout.
