Lonely Gym Friday...

April 19, 2013

I have to say that usually Friday afternoons the gym is very quiet! And I love that! I love being able to use what I want without fear of someone else stealing it while I am circuiting. So it is a nice time for me! And today was no exception. I was the only one there for a while, and then only joined by one other person.

Workout -
A friend of mine posted this on Facebook yesterday,
and I thought it was cute, so I wanted to share!

  • Cardio - 20 minutes - 1.45 miles [All at 0 incline unless otherwise noted] (3min at 6mph, 1min at 6.5mph, 1min at 6mph, 1min at 3.8mph at 0 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 3 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 4 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 3 incline, 2min at 3.8mph at 0 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 4 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 5 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 4 incline, 2min at 3.8mph at 0 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 3 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 4 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 3 incline, 1min at 3.8mph at 0 incline.)
  • Weights - Circuit - 1000 movements total - 25 lat pulldowns at 55lb, 25 sit ups, 25 bicep curls at 30lb, 25 crunches with a slight twist in my midsection at the top of the crunch, 25 tricep pulldowns at 60lb, 25 hip abductions at 140lb, 25 hip adductions at 100lb, 25 leg presses at 160lb. Repeat 3 more times. 25 cable chest flys with 20lb on each arm, 25 seated calf raises with 50lbs added. Repeat 3 more times. 

And I finished in exactly an hour. Not too bad. The cable chest flys were very difficult, and it strained my neck a lot in a strange way after about 15 of them in a row. But I know I need to do them! 

I have been trying to focus on doing things at the gym that I don't like to do, but I really need to do! And this week I have been doing pretty good with that. But it is always gonna be a little bit of a challenge to make yourself do things that aren't your favorite. 

After a little break... I also did a 1.91 mile was with my mom. So I got moving for a bit again! Now it's time to get ready for the rest of my day!
