I ran…. I actually ran!!!!
Okay back track. We got slammed with another snow storm last night but I was determined to be out of the house and at the gym (after a cheese dip contest at work yesterday!!!) I went to a different gym and it always throws me off because there is different equipment so I decided to change it up a bit.
Sporting: Tek Gear Shirt, old school capris pants
Rockin out to: workout playlist
Elliptical: I don’t like the ones here so it was short lived. 10 minutes, cross ramp 1 and resistance 6/7 (I couldn’t get comfortable)
Treadmill: this was the big thing. I was a cross country runner (to an extent lol) in high school. I used to run daily and I am 10 years out of that routine. 2 years ago I tried to start again but then was pregnant with my boy and yea needless to say I haven’t even attempted running in 2 years, let alone doing it for more that 5 minutes! I ran over a mile for 15 minutes and 15 seconds. (It took me 45 seconds to configure the treadmill) I stayed around a 5.5 speed.
Row machine: this was a water row machine and hats off to anyone who rows crew, wow! 5 minutes here.
Butt bench: 2 x 25
Incline sit-ups: 3 x 10
Really not sure if ill be able to walk later but it’s totally worth it.
