Day 47

FANTASTIC FOUR.

That is what my first day at Fitness MD was called. Hell is what I would call it. I joined the gym yesterday and today was my first day. 30 minutes into my 1 hour and 15 minute workout, my legs felt like jell-o. I took the 10:20am class.

I had to jog down a hill, then sprint back up the hill. Four times. That was my warm up.

I then was give four exercises to do four sets of 10 each. The first was with 15lb dumbells at my shoulders, do lunges. The second was to lift 10lb dumbells up and down about my head and back to my shoulders. The third was for me to lay my head and shoulders on a gym ball, keeping my body straight like a table, then do a bench press with the 10 pounders. I don't remember my fourth exercise.

I then had to run two laps around the building.

Four more exercise, four times 10 again. I did what is called "luggage lifts"...squat, pick up 15lbs, then squat, and put them back down. Then I had to lean back a bit, using the 10 pounders, hands together, and lift upward. Then I had to use the gym ball again...once to do extended arm things with 15lbs, then to do what is called "skull crushers" where I bend only at the elbow.

I then had to jog down the hill, sprint back, twice. AND jog twice more around the building.

Ouch. I am already a tad sore. One of the trainers told me that I had to come back tomorrow...WTF?!?!
