I have a workout buddy!!!! My BFF Keshia from work is going to the gym too! It would be sweet if I got off work when she does. But oh well to that.
Today's excitement: did the usual recumbent bike a thon, then did leg press 20 reps, then some torture machine that reminds me of a gyn visit. It is a contortion where you set down, there is this weight thing that you put your legs on either side of and then you push the weights apart using your legs. Let me just say it is a good thing these machines come with pictures of what you are supposed to do because, honestly, I have no clue! Did 20 reps with that.
Then did another leg deal. In this you are sitting like you are in a high chair. Your feet go under this weight deal and you lift this weight up. A bar thing comes down in front of you which is where the high chair part comes in. Did 20 reps there as well.
Today, the 9:20 lunch crowd had omelettes, sausage, hash browns, and toast. I told them I hated them all! This as I ate a cheeze stick and drank water. All their food comes from the grill downstairs. Why is it that good food is always served up fresh and piping hot AND salads at the grill are prepackaged, stale, and about as appealing as beef jerky??? Why can't they have all kinds of greens, fresh tomatos, cucumbers, carrot shreds, onions, bell peppers, radishes, real croutons, and a nice vinegarette??? Why can't they have a soup bar? Why are all the healthy things so hard to get???

Do 3 sets of 10 - 12 reps rather than one of 15. One set won't show you much progress. Second machine you describe as the high chair - does more harm than good according to pro athlete trainer we know. instead, do lunges. Stand straight, hands on hips. Step forward so that knee is bent and IS DIRECTLY OVER ANKLE - no further or you'll kill your knee joints. step back to start. Do 8 -12 on each leg. That's one set; do 3 sets. Great for butt too. (yea, you'll feel this one the next day!) You are doing great! Just up the number of sets to 3 and you'll see results so much faster. PROUD PROUD PROUD OF YOU!
