Gym Stuff

Time for the Spring Training link up hosted by KTJ.

Yesterday I did C210K, Week 6 Day 1. Who did the running portions at 6.0 on the treadmill? This chica right here. It was TOUGH. Which is what I’m aiming for – I want to be sore the next morning. And today am I ever.

Monday is also P90X Chest&Back day. I’m going to have to get to the gym either realllly early in the morning, like at 5am when it opens, or between after 1pm when the morning classes are over, but before the afternoon classes begin. The gym is pretty empty at those times.
If I’m there anytime between, the trainers give me the stink eye when I do my P90X routines. Yes, I know I’m very sweaty and probably smelling none-too-fresh, but isn’t that why I’m there? Just because it’s a ladies’ gym doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be working hard, but the trainers do not seem to be pushing their clients. Maybe they’re afraid of scaring them off? I know a lot of women at my gym do go just to be social -once I saw three elderly ladies on the treadmill pouring Armenian coffee from a thermos into espresso cups.
With saucers.
So, my gym does have an easy-going and fun atmosphere. That’s really why I like it – no pressure or competition. I just gotta stay out of the way of the trainers when they’re working with their clients.

  1. Well that’s interesting…coffee sips while on the treadmill!! There are def times when I do WODs at my gym that I’m sure I’m getting funny looks. I even hesitate to do this part of my workout, but you know you and I pay for membership just like them so we should always make the best of it!! Have fun with your P90X and good job on the running!!

  2. Don’t you pay for membership and the use of the gym?? I think you should be able to use it anytime without anyone giving you the stinkeye! Go you and keep on doing your thing! And wooohooo for your C210K accomplishment! That’s awesome!

I'd love to hear from you
