in the gym #3
Well, here I am at week #2 and almost half-way to establishing another habit.
I pushed harder today. I know I’m gonna be sore in the next couple of days.
Here’s the workout:
10 minute warm-up on treadmill
3 sets x 15 reps bench press
3 sets x 15 reps dumbell bicep curls
3 sets x 12 reps back extensions
3 sets x 12 reps dumbell tricep extensions
3 sets x 12 reps shoulder press
3 sets x 15 reps shoulder shrugs
3 sets x 12 reps bent over rows
5 sets x 12 reps abdominal crunches (getting better!)
3 sets x 15 reps lat pull-downs
3 sets x 15 reps seated cable rows
I’m utterly exhausted but also very satisfied.
I’m also happy because I don’t feel outta place in the gym. Sure, there are some hard core weightlifters in my gym but I feel good in there. I wear my running gear (with different shoes) and I think it’s pretty apparent that I’m a runner doing strength training. People can also see me doing low weight with high reps so I think I just fit into what I look like I should be doing.
Besides, although the gym is very very well equipped, it’s not a Gold’s type atmosphere. It’s a workplace fitness center that is filled with 30 and 40 something’s all at various fitness levels.
I’m like a fish in water in there!
