Shoulders & Abs

Today's regimen was much more successful! I was in the vicinity of my gym because of an errand I had around 8 pm. Grudgingly I headed to the gym because well I was already out and about and didn't want to hear my mom tell me how I'm wasting gas going back and forth and back and forth. 8:30 pm is not so bad as I always assumed it'd be. Granted the zumba class was lined up against the wall but I wasn't interested in doing that. There were less meatheads in the weights section at this time and today the stretching area  was  not full of people! joy! I only really need the 15s, 20s, and 25s and those are included in the stretching area, so I was indeed a happy camper. And I got to to my ab workouts too in peace. Today's workout: Shoulders & Abs -10 mins warmup on the stairmaster 3 sets of 12 -1: seated db shoulder press -2. side lateral raise -3. roman chair lifts -4. plank bosu ball -5. gym ball jackknife -25 min interval cycling workout, rou...

For a latecomer... going to gym late for classes is a lose-lose situation

Most of the classes that I'm interested in are scheduled at the busiest time of the day (at the gym) which is usually from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. I try to keep Monday evenings open just because my gym offers 'boxing boot camp' and you get your ass kicked in that class. Today I realized my sweats were all gone so I was looking all over for them so that I can wear them over my short, short workout shorts in the freezing cold. So.... I was too late for that. Therefore, I waited for the cycling class, but apparently you need tickets from the front desk to claim a bike. Boo. Had to motivate myself to go on a bike and do my own HIIT cardio on it. Was going to run on treadmill or go on stairmaster but of course they're all taken! SEE, lose-lose for me since it's so busy I can't go to class and the rest of the gym is packed like sweaty sardines. Though there is one silver lining: eye-candy be it women or men. Evening is the optimal time to see some cuties. Don't ask ...
