I count leg lifts by 13s (two of them to the alphabet) forward and backward in letters and numerals in English, Spanish and German. When I was swimming laps I did much the same. Most of the time if I lost track, I just started over from where I remembered being, but I’ve noticed these days that after the first few sets, I’m likely to count “Dreizhen, elf, zwelf, sieben, sex, fumpf… wait, did I skip something? Oh well, fier, drei, zwei, ein”
I never went for those workout gadgets that measure steps or heartrate or whatever; but my old iPod gives me what I need to push that extra mile, like a shot of rhythm & blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_khKEhJT3-c
I like Frazz’s thought. Fiddle w/ equipment, seems we all get too much junk in the way of our efforts sometimes? Doo-dad’s, bells, whistles. • Willing to be Frazz’s watch didn’t cost more than $15.
