Because yesterday's session was a bit of a push above and beyond the easiest aerobic HR zones, today's session was intended to be R&R. The plan was to keep heart rate somewhere near the middle of the HR zone 1 and 2 area until the last 3 minutes and then warm down.
As for "Brain Maintenance," a TED talk we watched recently focused on how daily aerobic activity is both a huge stimulus to the growth of brand new brain cells and also has other benefits which ward off things like Alzheimer's and other factors of deterioration in the general category of dementia.

| Even though this session was done at a very easy pace, it still amounted to more calories than if I had been jogging for the same amount of time at my customary jogging pace. |
