Another day, another grunt!!

The first day of the rest of the week...and once again I've survived, although I'm not sure how!

Mr. Eye Candy was back today, and he had NO mercy! He really worked out butts off....I'm sure he could have picked it up and handed it to me on a silver platter!

Sometimes, while I'm grunting through an exercise, I think,"Gosh, I hope I don't have some weird heart condition that has gone undiscovered!" It would be terrible to die right here in the gym. And then when the EMS got there, they would think,"OMG, this lady must have drowned!Why else would she be soaking wet?"

There are no words, except today was really, really hard. We were working a circuit, doing an exercise for 1 minute, then doing side-steps from midcourt to the end of the gym and back....TWICE! Then we moved on the the next exercise, then down the gym and back. Of course I don't know the official names of the exercises, but I know what it is!

I started with the medicine ball squats. We have to raise the ball and slam it to the ground as hard as we can, but we have to squat and catch it as it bounces. After side-stepping, I moved to the mountain climbers (I think that's what they are called) They are deadly! More side-steps, then bicycling, side-steps....and you won't believe the next one! We had to back up to the wall and get into a sitting position (without a chair of course!) While holding a medicine ball between our knees, we had to hold another one straight out in front of us....and stay like that for a solid minute. HA! That's all I'm gonna say about that. After side-stepping, it was my turn at the bicep curls. Before it was over, I had also done squats holding a 15lb. weight by the bell and lowering it the floor while squatting, the iron cross....with squats of course, and also doing tricep work by holding another 15lb. weight by the bell and while keeping our elbows by our head, lifting the weight behind and over our head. Good grief...I think I just pulled a muscle while re-living it here!!

Tomorrow is another day...*sigh* I don't think I'll like it any more, but...like a good friend once told me...It's my butt...I made it this big...so I've gotta move it!!
