Getting healthy is like a virus. Once you start telling people about it and actually doing something about it, they in turn become motivated to join you. I guess you can say it's like not wanting to do something alone. It's a lot more fun when you friends are participating in their own wellness while you are.
Last night, Kristy and I went to the gym. I was scheduled to meet with a trainer for my first physical assessment. Come to find out, I am 48% body fat. You can probably guess that I was not happy with that number. The trainer said that they would like to see me bring that number down to the mid 20's. He wrote up an exercise routine for me consisting of mostly weights. Says that the amount of cardio I am getting is plenty and I should focus on lifting weights. It will speed up my metabolism and and burn more fat. Today we worked only on my back muscles. We did a series of 4 exercises, 4 reps of 12 at 60 pounds each. Man I felt so butch!!!! I never grunted so much in my life. By the time we were finished, I was totally spent. I could barely lift my arms over my head and I was soaking wet in sweat.
After we worked out, I went to the racquetball courts to meet my friends. We had court reservations at 8:00. There were 5 of in all and we had a great time together. That's what I mean by being catchy. We all had a great workout, a lot of fun, and left feeling good that we actually did something. We have already scheduled our workout for next weeks racquetball session.
