Day 236 (day 5 / week 34)

Today I got out somewhat early and walked my 2 mile route. At the point where I turn around (1 mile) there is a park called the Helen Meyer Park & Center, and last week when I was walking with the Monkey Boy, I saw something there called the, "World Trail." I thought it would be a great idea to come back and do something there, since it gives a variety of opportunities to do more exercise.
You may have seen a "world trail" before, but didn't know what it was or even what to do to do with it...well, like in the case of me (lol). I have seen these quite a few times over the years, but the signs that came with it had been vandalized or damaged to the point where it wasn't readable, so I was just clueless. At this park, you can read them. Clearly. :) (you can click on the pictures to get a larger one to read the signs).

In the middle of my 2 mile walk, I stopped and did 2 of the exercises at the World Trail. As you can see, there are a lot of them (maybe 10-15?) but I only did two. The step up thingies: 2 sets of 15 on the medium peg, and 1 set of 15 on the tallest peg and the parallel bars (3 sets of 10 dips). The pegs I liked. I used balance and my quads, glutes and hammies. It had my HR up in the 140s doing these (great workout!) and they were fun, in an exercisey sort of way.


The other, the parallel bars, were really short and stumpy (even for me at 5'2 + 3/4!) and a bit awkward. I tried to do all of the exercises that it suggested, The Arm Walk, Body Dip and, Body Swing, but could really only do the later two. I did 2 sets of 10 body dips and 1 set of 10 body swings. I didn't even really know how to go about doing the arm walk because of how awkwardly short they were. I bet this world is for kids lolol.

All in all i accomplished 66 minutes, 2 miles and 2 Quickfire Challenges on the World Trail (that I made up for myself), and burned 648 calories.

I want to do more today...I NEED to do more today because I work 36 hours in the next 3 days... but the Monkey Boy just woke up. Maybe he will let me take him for a walk :). I'll update here if (WHEN) I do.

Make it count!

I can do this. I am a star.
