ZCUT #1 + 20:00 Row + 15:00 Bike

I'll admit, since I decided to actually stick to a workout routine about 2 weeks ago I've been slacking on keeping both this blog and my workout journal up to date. But the truth is, since I'm just doing what I'm being told to do, there isn't much for me to track. But I'm going to try to fix that -- starting today because I actually did some trackable cardio.

Neither ZCUT nor Blogilates have explicit cardio built into their programs, but since I'm still not entirely convinced that jumping up and down for 8 minutes is going to make me a better runner I'm going to add in some cardio chunks when I have the time. This will most likely mean I'll have to sacrifice a day or two of Blogilates over the course of the week, but I'm ok with it. Cardio be importante.

Comments
Well, I can't say for certain, but I don't think the 8 minutes of jumping up and down is hurting me any. Both the rowing and the biking workouts were on per with, if not a little better than similar workouts I've done recently. And I might be getting better at jumping up and down too, which is also cool. It might just be this specific set of jumping up and down though - it's the only ZCUT I have memorized, so if I find myself at the gym and this is the type of workout I want to do it's pretty much my only option. The one downside of owning the DVDs and being too lazy to rip them into a more portable format...
