Regardless of the lack of posting, I've been working out! Trust me...My body feels it too.
Instead of Body Sculpting one night a week, I'm going twice a week - Mondays and Thursdays. Monday night was hard. We did the bridge, as shown in the photo work out your abs. Which trust me, it does. I still get the feeling that I may be doing it all wrong sin
ce its usually my arms that give out and not my core. Either way, it does work the abs, I can tell that much.
I've also noticed how much stronger my arms and legs are.. Always a good thing!I think two nights a week worth of this class and I should be in great shape come try outs!
Last night I went a did my normal routine - Weights and then the olypical.
However, I changed it up a bit - mainly because the machines were all full - but it worked out. I started off with the weights - lateral pull down, leg press, ab abduction, hip abduction, back extensions, ab crunch, chest press. I then went a did the olypical for my normal 27:44. The workout was great - ended up feeling really good.
So here is my bitching part of the Y - Right now its towards the end of January and there are a ton of people in there who are making open, empty promises to themselves that they are going to work out, get in shape, loose weight, etc. etc. So naturally you see a lot of different people in there. You see the fat people who come one time and you never see again, you see the older people who, at one time, was probably in great shape trying to come back to being that way - just adding 25+ years and then you see the girls...When I say girls, I do not mean the women or ladies that are in the gym who just had babies or are really there to better themselves, I'm talking about the girls under 18 who have no clue what to do and are only at the gym to meet some "Hot Hunk" with "a great bod". These stupid girls are the ones who have turned my work out from 45 minutes to 1hr and 15 minutes. Prime example - last night I had to do the weights first since all of the olypicals were taken - so I do my chest press, lateral pull down and get all the way to the hip abduction, ab abduction (same machine) and I have to weight. So I position myself in a triangle allowing me to see both sides of the room - the olypicals and the machine I need to use to finish my work out. I have my Ipod with me, so I'm listening to some tunes and before I know it - my 5 minute, totally awesome, rockin' Dave Matthews song ends and this one girl is still on the machine. It would be okay if this one girl on the machine was working out - but she hadn't done a single rep in the 5 minutes of my waiting. Grr.
So I turn my Ipod off, but keep my head phones in to make it look like I'm still listening to the music. They, the girl on the machine and the girl standing by the machine who is obviously her Friend, are talking about "The Hot new guy in Drama"....I wait, 3 minutes goes by, not one rep. So I leaned in and said, "Excuse me, but if you aren't going to do the work out, get off of the machines and let people who need to work out, work out." She looks at me, rather puzzled and says, "okie" and then starts doing the reps! Does one set and then lets her friend on to do her "work out". Gah! How fF*(&() annoying! So I wait and wait - no olypticals are open and the one machine I needed to use was still being occupied by these stupid, ugly, freckled faced, idiot, high school losers who wouldn't get the hot guy in drama even if they wanted. . . 15 minutes later, I have the machine. I do my work out in about 5 minutes and then go to the olypticals where everyone on them was a new face and had just started the work out......good thing the one guy was one of the "Fat" people (horrible, aren't I?) and he only used it for about 5 minutes before he looked like he was going to fall over in a new grave if he continued any longer....
Now I know, was totally a punk ass brat in this post about the "fat people", the "old people" and the stupid lame as brats who are annoying as hell, but I give them props - they are trying....
This one older lady in my body sculpting class is probably in her late 40's and she kicks the shit out of everyone there!!
Alright - I'm a Y junkie now - and I can totally feel it....
