To change things up a tiny bit, I use elliptical #2. It actually runs a bit smoother but the TV doesn't work as well so I can't watch Bloomberg for business news (both domestic and international). The gym must've put the heat on because I'm drenched after cardio, but I don't want to catch a chill so I keep my hoodie on until I return to the free weight area for triceps.
The amount of reps I can do with 35 lbs makes me think I should consider increasing the weight to 40 lbs. Of course I'd have to drop the reps back down to the 8-12 range and keep careful watch on elbows and wrists. The dogs and I get to the park late and can't stay any longer than 30 minutes. My son's schedule has changed for the 3rd and 4th quarter and now he's done with classes before noon! Most seniors (like his friends) who also have short schedules either walk home (a long 1.5 hr walk) or have secured a parking permit and a vehicle to drive themselves to and from school. It's not a big school and permits are limited.
Granted, I didn't learn to drive until I was out of college, but I lived in NYC and navigating public transportation is its own skill set. I am considering getting pedal blocks though just so I can sit further from the damn steering wheel... I also think I need to enroll my son in a driving school just so he'll have the skills.
