Something New

I've got the fever for trying new things!

Nearly 1 year into my workout program at The Boxing Club in Spruce Grove, I'm ready to branch out on my own. Don't get me wrong, TBC is amazing for TRX and other fitness classes but I've come to a cross roads in my life and it's time to pick a road to travel.

The options:

1. Stick with the classes at TBC (Tues/Thurs 5:30-6:30pm)

2. Try out some Meetup hiking/biking/photography/travel/social groups

Hmmmm, hard decision because I AM a TRX addict! No, really, I am going to a support group for TRX addicts. We meet every Tuesday & Thursday at 5:30pm. Unfortunately we have no will power and a TRX class breaks out during our meetings. Every time. ;)

But, it is time to try something(s) new. Yoga anyone?

Blogging from the Gym

10 am Sunday morning and here I am, at the gym. Though this is a 24 hour key access gym, I've yet to get here outside of "normal" hours. One of these days, just for fun...

First up? 20 mins on the elliptical! Random setting, level 7, 5 minute cool down. Distance covered: 1.97 Calories burned: 274. Time for a good stretch and then off to hit the machines and weights. 

Tried Pilates for the first time yesterday. Learned the 7 cues of stacking your body. Interesting to try to incorporate them into a gym workout. Wish me luck. I'm struggling with "bolting my hips" on the elliptical. 

Leg Press: 140lb. 2 sets of 15 reps straight press. 2 sets of 15 reps plié press. 

Beautiful day out. Sun, haze, sun dogs, and rainbows. :D

Super setting the seated leg curls and leg extensions. Curl: 1 set of 15 reps 30lb, 35lb, 40lb. Extension: 3 sets of 15 reps 30lb. 

Super setting Abductors and Adductors. 

Abductors: 75lb, 3 sets of 15. Adductors: 45lb, 3 sets of 15. 

Back extensions: 10lb, 3 sets of 15. 

Calf press: 90lb, 3 sets of 15. 

Super setting Pectoral Fly & Rear Deltoids. Fly: 40lb, 2 sets of 15 reps. 45lb, 1 set of 15. Deltoids: 40lb, 3 sets of 15 reps. 

Lats: 27.5, 3 sets of 15. 

I'm getting tired!!! Good thing I have an easy schedule of cooking for the rest of the day...

Abs: 2 sets of 15 for each side & front. Crunches on the ball. 

11:50am and time to head home for a shower, hydration, protein, a huge stretch, and turkey baking!! I missed Canadian Thanksgiving so I'm making my own. Also cooking pasta sauce and making salsa from the 101 tomatoes from my garden. Who's hungry?
