You're right - was people from the department I work in. No romance involved.
 
Well it was bound to happen...

...it seems the company I work for wants to do a little interview/photo of me for the company website. I've had my misgivings, for various reasons, but think I'm going to go ahead and let them do it. Figure if I can help someone else who reads the story, then the extra attention is worth it.

30 Minutes Trailblazer, L7

Weights are now accurate, as I wrote them down while at the gym. A good workout day so far - can definitely tell the difference when coming off a weekend rest. As much as I thought I'd hate the functional trainer, I find I quite like it now. It's easy to adjust and you can do just about anything with it. The FT portion is designed so as to require the least number of changes to the gear, which is why I wanted to bring up the weights on all the exercises to the same number. I was very surprised at the number of pushups though - I'm not sure if that's because I'm getting used to doing the exercise, or if that's more strength or what, but I'm not going to complain. Also a surprise were the preacher curls - it was close getting the 27.5 up there but I managed it. Now I have to think about doing an end loading day (adding weights to the exercises at the end of the routine). Cardio tonight - will be interesting to see how the trailblazer is.

Hey Stingo, how long have you ben doing Spin?? I tried it once and my butt hurt so bad, I was wondering if it was just me?? LOL!!!
 
Since January - and it wasn't you - it was the seat. There's a reason they make padded spinning/cycling shorts... I know my first week or so it felt like I had saddle sores but I got used to the seat and don't notice it now. Now that you're going to the gym again you should try it.
