Today was a rather interesting day. I started the afternoon with lunch at Ziggy's Bar and Grill where I got a buffalo burger with a side of fruit. I was with my friend celebrating her birthday. We went to Sprinkles Cupcake and Crave Cupcake where we each bought one from each store. I know...that I shouldn't have cupcakes, but I thought it was a special one time occasion. Dinner rolled around and I had a grilled chicken breast, mushrooms, and onion stir fry w/ brown rice. Late that evening was when I decided to work out.
The gym was practically empty with the few 4-5 other members training. There was this one particular member who I've seen before, seemed like he didn't really have any set routines. He jumped from one exercise to the next, it seemed like only one set each exercise, and the entire gym, no kidding, had various weights/bars/swiss balls/mats/etc that he used all over the floor. I felt bad for the employee that was going to have to pick up after him.
Besides that, I did my workout. Bench Press with 30 lbs free weights, shoulder press with the 20 lbs free weights, triceps extension and bicep curls using the cables. Butterfly press with the cables, more triceps/biceps/shoulder work outs, leg press and hamstring extensions on the machines. With all of the exercises I did 3 Sets of 12. I also did crunches on the floor, crunches on the swiss ball, side crunches with the exercise ball. I did 2 sets of squats on the BOSU ball until my knees started to hurt. Overall, a good work out.
I then decided to shoot some hoops and when I got to the court, there were three other guys that were playing 21, and asked if i wanted to play. I knew my knees were still weak, but I let them know and they went easy on me for the most part. I loved it though. Playing basketball.....I was not good at all, and only made three baskets, but it was fun. In doing so I met people at the gym. One of which, I think is training with one of the other personal trainers, James, if I'm not mistaken.
All in all, it was a good day...besides the cupcakes, but I hope that I can keep this momentum going.
Thanks for reading!
