I'm sticking with the Paris theme for week 3 of April workouts with another musical frolic from the 1950s -- Rich, Young and Pretty!

Today's Afternoon Workout:

  • 7.62 miles on the elliptical in 34:01 minutes.
    • 1-minute warmup at resistance level 7; then two interval segments at resistance level 6 & 5 for 13:30 minutes each; rest of the time at level 5.
      • 20 intervals using the Gym Boss Interval Timer; 20 seconds high intensity/fast, followed by 1 minute at a cool-down/slower pace. 
  • First day of watching 'Rich, Young and Pretty' from 1951, starring Jane Powell, Danielle Darrieux, and Wendell Corey. 
    • Today's segment included the first song of the movie 'Paris' sung by Jane Powell and Wendell Corey!
      • IMDb Movie Outline: Jim Stauton Rogers, a Texas rancher turned international diplomat, takes his young daughter, Elizabeth Rogers, on a trip to Paris. He is concerned that his daughter might come in contact with her mother, Marie Devarone, a Parisian singer he met and loved more than twenty-five years ago.
