You're right, it is pretty hard to get motivated. I have been trying to work out every day, but doing serious cardio every other day.

The other day I did 30 min on the bike and burned around 500 calories.

Yesterday I was on the erg...yes, the erg. I did a 10k at 1:57-2:02 split, cadence at a 20-22.

Also, I was watching "a day in the life of" on USRowing.com and I saw this weight exercise that some of the national team guys were doing...you hold two dumbbells so that it looks like you're resting them on your shoulder...then you do a squat. At the bottom of the squat, stand up rapidly as if you were exploding off the catch, and simultaneously push the dumbbells into the air over your head. Lower them near your shoulders and repeat. It's a good workout.

Today I plan on returning to the erg...I am feeling the pain from yesterdays workout and it hurts SOOOO GOOOD :)
