Yesterday was my first day back at the gym and it felt wonderful!
It was raining and freezing cold so it made it a bit difficult to roll out of bed and get my workout clothes on, but somehow I found the motivation (probably the fear of Michael lecturing me on not going) and got a move on. I'm so glad I did! I felt so great walking back into the gym.
I kept to a light strength training workout with the machines since I haven't done any strength training in weeks and I didn't want to hurt myself. Surprisingly all of the weights on the machines were the same as when I had stopped going, but it's not exactly where I want to be. But time and consistency brings progress!
My workout included:
2x12 lat pulldown 40#
2x12 assisted chin ups 55#
2x12 assisted dips 55#
2x12 chest press 20#
2x15 leg press 70#
2x15 hip abduction 40#
2x15 calf press 25#
2x15 leg curls 40#
After my workout I headed home to stretch for awhile with some yoga and recover with a protein shake. I feel so motivated to be healthy and help motivate others!
