Friday evening isn't busy

Friday is a great time apparently. The gym had the least amount of people I had seen since I joined.

I did another old workout. Shoulders, chest and something else. I also did the ab deal where you kind of rest on your forearms. While off the ground, you bring your legs up parallel to the floor. Before, I would just bring my knees up but my arms would get tired first. This time, I brought my legs up and managed 21 and 11. It felt much more intense so I will keep doing it that way. I want great abs!

I had to cancel my Thursday appt with Meghan because of work. We haven't figured out a time but I hope I can meet with her this weekend. She wanted to discuss workout plans going forward. I still need help 'learning' all the machines. I may keep a list of machines that I know and ones I need to learn.

Anyway, it was a good week. I went three times.

Crash

I repeated another workout (shoulders/chest) on Saturday. It was my first time by myself on the weekend. It wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. I think I like the weekends. Managed to gain either weight or reps on each machine. I must have written (or done something) wrong on one machine. My weight increase about 30%.

I did the leg lift thing again. It really starts out easy then my whole body gets tired. I did 30 and 13.

As I was leaving, poor kid next to my apparently can't pull out of a parking space and hit some other dude. It was freezing cold and one of them just had on shorts as they were exchanging insurance info. Sucks. He dented a beater car. I would have left it dented. (I guess that comes from living in Chicago).

Full body

Well, I wasn't as sore as I thought I would be after Tuesday's workout.

Went in today to work out with Meghan.  She had me do a full body workout.  It was rough.  Legs (I thought I'd pass out), shoulders, arms and chest.

I've learned that my left-upper body is WEAK compared to my right.  I need to ask her how to even things out.  I figured it was because I carried a computer bag w/ two notebooks for about a year while traveling.  

Goals from here on out:  going at THREE times a week.  Once on the weekend and twice during the work week.

Late

I haven't been posting as much as I wanted....this is a recap.

I unfortunately only have gone twice by myself. Was a bit nervous on the new machines...but found a trainer to make sure I was doing thing correctly.

Will update tomorrow....I did go into day and did shoulders and chest. Wow, I will be sore tomorrow.

2nd session

Had my second session w/ meghan on Thursday. That hour went by a lot faster than the first one.

We did shoulders, chest, triceps and hamstrings. I definitely have lots of room for improvement. The only part that hurt was the hamstring exercise on my bad leg.

I woke up the next day not being that sore....but for some reason, I was when I woke up today.

Anyway, meghan just emailed me telling me she will give me something to do for Sunday.

Finally recovering

I finally got a workout routine from Meghan via email. She sent it late yesterday. Enough and excuse for me not to go in. Instead, I managed to do about 15 minutes on the elliptical.

Tomorrow(today) I'll do the flex exercises.
