Circuit training....

Wow before two weeks ago the only circuit training I knew was 60 hertz, 120 volts, plug it in and it goes on, negative and positive, common, and ground. But Nooooooooooooooo! Riley says do this then jump to this, then when your feeling your through, oh yeah...jump to this then do it again, and then again. 3 circuits, 10 each? No, do 12 "you can do 12 can't you" So I fooled him...I did 15, hehe. Now ...todays accomplishments are tommorrows expectations! Slave Driver, as he yawns and whole-heartedly agrees! See you in the gym!

New Shoes

Talked with Matt last Friday, had to go check out the runners corner, left there with a new pair of Brooks! Wow what a difference! My feet don't hurt on the treadmill, and what do you know, I learned a new way to tie my shoes (you CAN teach a very old dog new tricks)! Today was a busy day at the gym. Lots of folks, (This excercise thing will NEVER take off).....and yes the mirrors are still there! take care and see you at the gym!

Bad mirror! Scary Mirror!

I never really paid much attention to the mirrors in the gym, except for today..They're everywhere! You can see your back, your side, does this shirt make my belly look too big? (It's not the shirt pal!)I especially like seeing myself where the mirrors seams come together, Hey there's two of me...wait, there is two of me anyway! Soon though, the mirrors don't lie, the weight is coming off, we're getting stronger, feelin better, looking forward to the workouts. The mirrors...not so scary anymore! Keep it up...see you in the gym!

Riley, Riley, Riley

Its 8:35, and I'm just now feeling human again, Riley worked me pretty hard, whew...circuit training, no hands treadmill, "hey why don't you start with the eliptical"? Cause I don't want to thats why! Slavedriver...."is that too heavy"? Why no, I just can't lift it off the ground is all...let alone do three sets of 10, did I say 10? Riley says 12, Riley always says 12. Can't wait until 15...Wait, yes I can!

Do you have to have masochistic tendencies to be a personal trainer? My vote is yes...All kidding aside, his work outs are tough, and he is appreciated! See you all in the gym!

Another week in the life

Aye, another week. Took a little break this weekend, went to st george, met up with some friends in Mesquite, we all rode out motorcycles the back way into Vegas and back to mesquite. Riley's been working my "Harley Muscles" into shape, rode 300 miles, but it felt like 20! Normally I'd still be recovering. Wow...what a difference! I'm thinkin' I'm really likin' this. See you at the Gym!

Careful Big Fella...

Started work out yesterday feeling a little unwell;, thought i could push thru it.....NOT! after about 30 minutes on the treadmill, and 3 intervals later, started having a little chest pain, a little lightheaded, and felt as though I hit a brick wall, Riley made me stop, hooked me up to an EKG, looked ok, blood pressure a bitt high; Sat down for a bit, felt better, but no matter what Riley wouldn't let me get back to it! What a way to get out of treadmilling without holding on!

Went home, ate a salad and went to bed, woke up feeling fine, went back to the gym today, did my normal workout, still feeling pretty good.

Thanks all...see you in the gym!

Saturday at the gym...

Geez, I thought friday's were dead at the gym. Nope, Saturday is a sure winner, We went inabout 5 pm (was everyone there in the morning?) We were the only ones there for about 40 minutes then a couple more folks showed up. Anyway, we got our workouts in, a little beast (elliptical) and alot of treadmill. Riley put me on the weight assist thing last thursday, since he beat me up pretty good prior to that (my arms are 5 inches longer!) i had a tough time with it, but saturday... yep did tow reps of ten each. I'm a happy guy. Take care all....see you at the gym!
