Comments: Cycling cross-training day on the stationary recumbent machine. Had the gym to myself. It was stuffy, but felt a bit better after the hour was up per the air conditioning. Tried the trick I had noticed last time, focusing on posture and using my upper legs. It worked for awhile. It required I focus on my core strength to stabilize my posture. In the last 2 minutes I increased the intensity to #10 (from #6) and ended with a strenuous cycling, increasing my heart rate. Listened to audiobook. When I cycle it usually represents a visually static scene, so I make up trivial games where I align the window panes with objects in the background (e.g., the street sign) to pass the time. After I am done, I use the provided disposable cleaning cloths to wipe down the surfaces of the cycle, hopefully leaving it better than I found it. There is not too much activity while I cycle. There are a few people I see on a regular basis: a woman walking on the grass; people walking their dogs; couples walking together. The people vary so much I do not usually recognize them. Weather is cooler today, but still warm. Overall I am feeling in pretty good shape. I have not felt knee pain in some time.
Any irregular feelings, aches, pains, heart rate, and so forth?: None
