Gotta love the gym when it’s the first day of the semester. Every piece of cardio equipment is taken by girls, the weights section is swarmed by guys, and everyone’s really there to work up a good sweat. WRONG-O! Maybe I’m wrong, but I think 85% of the people at the gym should read my “How Hard Are You Working” post-just sayin’..
Anywho- today’s workout was a doozy! Although the weather was almost perfect in the A.M., it was too hot to run outside, so I opted for a treadmill workout instead. I love/hate the treadmill for 2 reasons:
- love it because I can do any type of interval: the time, speed, and incline are all right in front of me at the touch of a button.
- hate it because it’s quite boring (except for the pink treadmills-they’re a lot more fun to run on
)
Here’s how it went:
- warm-up
- 5 minutes @ 1.5% incline
- 7 minutes @ 4% incline
- walking lunges & lateral raises, anterior raises, overhead presses (3X)
- 8 minutes @ 2% incline
- 4 minutes @ 8% incline
- floating lat. pull downs (12/arm)
- 6 minutes @ 2% incline
- 4 minutes @ 6% incline
- 3 minutes @ 10% incline
…and DUNZO! This was tough (I think I say that every post) and I finished this in roughly 45 minutes.
