After a summer of "I should do something to get into better shape" and weeks of "I should join a fitness center," I joined Snap Fitness in Cottage Grove on Thursday. Not only did I join, I enjoyed my first work out. I did some cardio and a full circuit of the strength training equipment. Later in the evening, Nick and I went for a walk. Lots of exercise in just one day. (To be fair, we have been walking most evenings.)
Friday I also enjoyed a work out. My muscles were pretty sore, but I pushed through and did it anyway. We also went for a walk in the evening. I felt bad because I was kind of lagging behind. I almost felt like Nick had to pull me along.
Saturday I decided I would go and only do some cardio. My muscles were very sore and weak, so I decided to give them a rest from strength training. Today was a tough day to get out the door. One of those days that could make or break your week. I wanted to nap on the couch, but I went. I did my cardio and then I focused on an upper body work out. Amazing how not strong my arms are. For someone that used to do an awful lot of dog and cat wrestling, my upper body strength sure has faltered over the past 9 months. (Has it been that long since I have worked in a practice??) Anyway, I feel much better having worked out. My plan for tomorrow is cardio and legs. In high school when I was a weight room user, I used to hate leg days. The machines they have make it a bit better these days...not so much just squats and lunges. Ick.
