Cardio fusion
Today’s workout: Cardio Fusion, a fitness class offered at OU’s Charles J. Ping Recreation Center
While listening to: The instructor & her workout playlist
Fitness classes are offered for free at Ohio University and I try to take advantage of them as much as possible. My friends at other colleges complain about having to pay for theirs, so I’m reminded to be thankful that I can go whenever I want.

Wednesdays on my training schedule you can choose between cross training or a short run. Cross training, according to the guide, can be swimming, walking, cross-country skiing, swimming ,etc….it’s your preference.
The word to describe Wednesday is choice.
I chose to attend a fitness class because I hadn’t been to one in over a week and being told what to do by an instructor sounded like a good idea. That way I was less likely to slack.
Cardio fusion routines differ based on the instructor. As do all fitness classes. So, I wasn’t sure what to expect.
It ended up being a mixture of step exercises and ab workouts. INTENSE! Jumping back and forth over the raised step, all I could hope was that I didn’t trip (I’ve done that before).
This video resembles the workouts we did, although not so much spinning around and rotating or I would not have been able to follow:
When the five-minute relaxation and stretch period arrived, it was very appreciated. Regardless of the deep stretching we did, I guarantee I’ll be sore tomorrow!
18 days until race day!
