    Average bpm:  142

    Exercise of the day:  Double Lunge

    You would think this is a Core or Lower Strength exercise, but it is actually grouped with the Cardio because it is so high energy.  I sometimes think of it as the "Half-Rockette" exercise.

    Start from a standing position with legs slightly apart.  Throw hands into the air to the right.  As you bring them down, bring your left knee up to your chest.  As you throw them back into the air, put your left leg down.  As you bring your hands down again, slightly turn to the left.  Throw hands into the air to the left.  As you bring them down, bring your right knee up to your chest.  As you throw your hands back up into the air to the left, put your right leg back down.  As you bring your hands down again, slightly turn to the right.  Repeat ad nauseum.

    Yesterday, I overslept and didn't have time to do my exercises.

    Last night we watched Shortbus.  I quite enjoyed it.  There is a lot of sex (many different types), strong language and adult situations so it should not be shown to children.
