Training Day 22
My body hurts. My thighs are wiggling like jello and my upper arms still resemble turkey necks. I’m needing a hot, HOT tub to soak right now. Anyone got the hot tub I can borrow?
I know why I put myself through this misery each week - skinny, blonde sister getting married in September - but nay, nay, I’m still younger
So, that is something to look forward too - AND - I still don’t have gray hair like her! How bout those apples!
So although I might have to work out to get my butt lifted, I can still revel in the fact that there are some things that have not creped up on me in my age. What has happened with my age, I feel every exercise completely in my body.
Trainer K was merciful on me today since I worked my back and abs on Tuesday. Basically, she didn’t kill me, just only slightly. We did a lot of arm work today and she threw in some oblique work for good measure. Actually the oblique work helped my back stretch out. Relief.
With free weights and my arms today, I started out with really light weights and as I go Trainer K moves me up weight depending on the ’struggle’ she sees. Well, on one exercise, I moved up two size weights but by the time I got to the last set, I was hurting and hating!
Then after all of the workout she has me do these arm rotation things - like that name for ‘em? No clue what they are, but they freaking hurt. I mean they look SIMPLE, but don’t let that fool you. It fooled me. What I hated, she had me do all that work on my arms and then made me do these. PSYCHO!
It was not nice, nor a pretty picture when I was finished and off to the shower. But, I got through it. I always do and then I turn here to bitch and complain
You guys just listen so well.

Ah… exercising is easier when you have a goal. Looking great at a wedding? Nice!
I feel like such a dork when I try to walk to the shower after a ‘work-out’. My legs are like jello!
So embarrassing.
I’m glad I’m not alone.

Oh, there have been a few days I wonder if I will make it to the shower. Then I realize I don’t want to stink up the gym, so I hurry to it
