There are some things that we all hate when working out at the gym. My pet peeves are very few, but I just added a new one today. Hovering. You know when you’re on a machine and someone comes over and instead of asking to get in on a set or two they just hang out at the machine next to you doing absolutely nothing, waiting and hoping you’re going to be done soon. Move along to another exercise or ask me to get in on a set! I’m doing 3 sets of front cable raises and this dude just sits there on the machine next to me hovering. If I were hogging the machine, that’s would’ve been one thing, but let’s be real! I’m trying to concentrate on what I’m doing and here he is hovering. As soon as I finished my sets he immediately got on the machine. I’m getting off my soapbox now, but next time just ask!

It’s been 3 months since I was hitting the weights on a consistent basis and so this evening I decided to get back in there and get acquainted with the iron again and begin getting back on schedule again. Since I hadn’t been in for a while I kept it light with low reps and weight and a minimum number of sets. I did get in 32 minutes of cardio splitting time between the treadmill and the ellipitical. It’s the most cardio I’ve done outside of hiking as of late. So tomorrow I am getting up early to go at it again with a little more intensity.
