As part of my daily work-out, I have been carrying out a rotating schedule of various techniques and various equipments for my 20-25 minute session. Today, for the first time, I used the Precor 966i Treadmill machine that is available at our Recreation Center. This treadmill gives me exercise mostly for the lower torso and legs.

Since the treadmill has simple options, I set it in normal (default) mode. I used treadmill for 15 minutes work-outs with 5 minutes cooling off. I also can follow the Calories burned, distance climbed, steps/minute and other details in the display that is available on the monitor in front of me. This way, I can monitor my workout for lower body. Today I climbed for about 16 minutes and burned close to 80 Calories and walked for about 3 minutes to cool-off.

As part of my daily work-out, I have been carrying out a rotating schedule of various techniques and various equipments for my 20-25 minute session. Today, like many other days, I used the Stairmaster Stepmill SM 916 step-climbing machine that is available at our Recreation Center. This stair cliber gives me exercise mostly for the lower toros and legs.

Since the climber has simple options, I set it in normal (default) mode. I usually use the climber between 15-20 minutes work-outs with 3 minutes walking to cool off. I also can follow the Calories burned, distance climbed, steps/minute and other details in the display that is available on the monitor in front of me. This way, I can monitor my workout for lower body. Today I climbed for about 16 minutes and burned close to 115 Calories and walked for about 3 minutes to cool-off.

Repair the dry-wall

Repair the dry-wall

Tuesday, September 06, 2011

This morining one the local drywall repair/installer stopped by our house. We had called him earlier to fix a broken drywall at our place and he had scheduled the visit this morning. He surveyed the damages and told one needs simple patch work and other needs a replacement drywall piece.

We asked him to begin his work. He then proceeded to cut out a bigger rectangular area on the room where the damage was big. He then placed a rectangular new drywall smoothed out the corners and put on a gauze-type tape over it. For the second room he simply used the gauze-type tape all over the damaged area. Then he put on quick dry white cement on the top of both the areas and allowed to dry for about 15 minutes.

After it had dried he mixed some material that was white and resembled the dry masonary on our walls. He generously applied that white cover coat and used the mason’s trowel to smooth the area to match rest of the wall surface.

The job was completed about 1 1/2 hour and we were happy with the finished job. We paid him with a personal check.

As part of my daily work-out, I have been carrying out a rotating schedule of various techniques and various equipments for my 20-25 minute session. Today, like many other days, I used the Life Fitness Club Series Stationary Bike machine that is available at our Recreation Center. This indoor bike gives me exercise mostly for the lower toros and legs.

Since the bikehas simple options, I set it either in interval or random mode. I usually bike between 10-12 minutes work-outs with 3 minutes walking to cool off. I also can follow the heart rate, Calories burned, distance biked at the display that is available on the monitor in front of me. This way, I can monitor my workout for lower body. Today I biked for about 14 minutes and burned close to 90 Calories and walked for about 3 minutes to cool-off.
