Muscles and Mascara

This past week I got back into working out for the first time since we moved in June. Let me tell you... I am soooo sore! It has been forever since I have been in a gym, as my workouts previously consisted of playing softball, playing volleyball, and getting my butt whipped into shape by Shaun T with his T25 workouts. My Mister got a gym membership and picked one up for me while he was there, so I figured that I might as well put it to use. I went 3 times this week and plan on sticking with that for now. I also plan on incorporating T25 back into my daily workout routine at some point

Monday I spent 90 minutes at the gym. I didn't really have a sense of direction, so I did 20 minutes on an exercise bike before moving onto the weight machines. Wednesday I focused on legs by doing squats with a 25 pound kettle ball, as well as using the leg press machine. My poor legs are still feeling it!  Today I wanted to take it easy on my poor legs, so I did 30 minutes on the bike before hitting the mats for some intense ab workouts. 

When I workout I need to listen to something, as it helps make the time go by. This week I have been listening to the Dave Ramsey podcast on my phone to help pass the time. I also bring a book or magazine to read while I pedal on the exercise bike. I ended my gym session today by relaxing in the sauna for 10 minutes. 

While I think it is to early to see any physical progress from this week's workout, my sore muscles mean that it's working.The gain will totally be worth the pain that I am feeling right now.  

Relaxing these muscles for the weekend before hitting the gym hard again on Monday. Have a great weekend. 

Until next time,
