Wow. Where do I start? Sara and I tried the brand new BSC in Westboro this morning for the first time. Man was I impressed! Besides being less than 6 months old, the gym is nicer than any BSC in the state with the execption of perhaps the Waltham mega BSC. Besides having a full sized pool, the workout area is beautiful with cardio theater on all machines, including 4 brand new crazy bike machines made by Expresso Fitness. If you haven't checked out these machines, go to www.expresso.net.
So anyways, I ended up doing 3 different bike tours. Not only is the virtual aspect of the bike race motivating, the machine gives you the ability to play music already embedded in the machine, or even toggle to the embedded television. With this added motivation my bike workouts were as follows:
- Coastal Run: 3.40 miles in 12:24, 140 calories burned
- Expresso Speedway: 1.02 miles in 3:20, 45 calories burned
- Campus Loop: 2.04 miles in 7:34, 82 calories burned
Best part about the machine was that you enter a unique username and pw and you can then track your results online at their website, log in to any of their 4 machines when you get to the gym, andbike against "ghost riders" such as your best previous performance, the regional leader, etc...
After the intense bike workout I finished with a pretty good shoulder workout and then 100 abs.
