Monday Training
Manic Monday
I really f***ing hate Mondays ~ got my kids all ready for school, lunch money handed out, dragged them to the car in the 32 degree weather just to get to school and find out that they are off the ENTIRE week. UGH. So up bright and early at 0600 am on a damned vacation day.
Sooo…
I went for a jog/run… I am still needing to use intervals to work up to the consistant pace I am after. I will walk for 5m to warm up, then I break into a steady jog of about 5.5 mph for 3m and then 2m I will increase speed to about 6.5-7.0 mph. I did this for 36m ~ I do love the little rush I get after I do even a light jog/run. I love the stepmill and all but I feel as though I have worked harder this way I guess.
Did an early afternoon Everlast Boxing work out. Meh. I made this internal commitment to take at least 3 group ex classes per week, that I haven’t taken, I am bored fitness/cardio wise I guess. It was ok, I am in exceptional condition I guess cuz I barely broke a sweat, and everyone around me, the "regulars" seemed to be dying, sweating, huffing, puffing, getting clumsy with it. Guess that’s a bonus.
Will be back on the weight heavy and hard starting tomorrow (Tuesday) still very worried about my lower back giving out on me at an inoppertune moment. The "trainers" at the gym I work out (not work) at in the evening are such shit; I am sorry and hate to be so negative, but I have seen some HORRIBLE, DANGEROUS exercises and form from memebers and no attempt at all to help, instruct, or even offer correction in a nice way. I don’t work there, and my BFF was thrown out of one of these gyms, for offering help, cuz she too is a trainer, but if you dont work there, its a cardinal sin to open your mouth and speak "as a trainer". I don’t give a shit, if I see someone about to kill themselves again, I am speaking up. When my back gave out, if my BFF wasn’t there spotting me that day thank GOD I would have hit the floor with 165 lbs on a bar coming on top of me and I guarentee no help from any of the "staff". I have never once complained, but I guess I just opened my eyes to the facilities around me that I dont have control of, and I am just astonished these days. Anyway, sorry for the bitching. It’s Monday.
