Haven’t Mentioned Fitness Lately

I haven’t blogged out my workout routine lately… mainly because I haven’t been running. Too cold, too dark, too snowy. However, I have been going to the gym.

The other day I asked one of the trainers a simple question about curls, and he ended up giving me an entirely new routine to work on. That’s a good thing: my old routine was, well, old, and I wasn’t getting much out of it. Also, with nobody but myself to report to, I was getting too relaxed.

Right now we’re focusing on technique, so I’m using low weights, but they’re still killing me. I feel like such a baby struggling with 15lb. dumbbells, while the old lady next to me uses 15′s, too. I even have a 5lb. dumbbell that I borrowed from Laura that I use while working, to help strengthen my left arm.

Today I worked on the stairmill, which will make bathroom breaks and coffee breaks today interesting, since I have to go down 2 floors. It’s an amazing little machine… burned about 225 calories in 15 minutes – I don’t think there’s any other machine that does that much to me.
