Need a step

I did the second round of Stage 1 workout A today. The squats went better. I think I need to angle my feet out a bit, though. I couldn't squat down so that my thighs are horizontal or lower, but afterward I was talking with hubby and he showed me how he does them. His feet angle out slightly and can squat down all the way. When I tried it, I could go a lot lower, too, so I'll have to try that out next time.

The step-ups are still giving me grief, since I don't have a high enough step. I tried to start down lower with a bent non-working leg and not let it push me off. That worked to some degree, but I think I would have a better result if the step was actually higher.

I struggled some with the pikes today. I think I was doing them better, though, and that is the reason they were harder.

I found a better bar to use for the seated row. That was nice.

I warmed up with speed intervals today. I did 0.2 miles at 5.5mph then 0.1 miles at 6.5mph, repeat until one mile is reached. That was harder this morning. My heart rate got up to 186bpm briefly. I used a faster bpm Podrunner podcast, a 157bpm (I think) called The Road of Excess (I think). I kept listening to it while lifting.
