Thursday 08/12/21: 2.6 Miles

'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' from 1954, starring Howard Keel and Jane Powell.

Tonight was night 5 of working out this week and my final night for the week; I waited until after 11pm again and continued with the high intensity intervals. 

  • I did 2.6 miles on the elliptical in 14 minutes at medium-high resistance (level 10). I got in an extra half minute since I thought the timer had started but it didn't.
  • I did 10 intervals of 20 seconds high intensity/fast, followed by 1 minute at a cool-down/slower pace. 
  • I used the Gym Boss Interval Timer for my intervals.

As much as I want to get through more of the movie in a workout session, I want to see if doing the intervals will give me some better results than doing longer cardio sessions; I'm a little over one hour into the movie with about 40 minutes left. 

  • Currently watching 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' from 1954, starring Howard Keel and Jane Powell.
  • IMDb Movie Outline: In 1850 Oregon, when a backwoodsman brings a wife home to his farm, his six brothers decide that they want to get married too.

'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' is #78 on my Miles of Movies 2021 list!
