THOUGHTS OF A FITNESS FREAK

People (women usually) ask me how I train.  Well, the weights don’t know I posess a uterus, so I just train.  I cut my teeth on muscle and fitness, take supps, sweat, make faces when I train (yep, look like a sweaty pig), so I suppose I just train hard.  I do not use less than 10 lbs dumbbells (a gallon of milk is 8 and we all have carried that right?) Start picking the weights up and owning them.  No guy in the gym wants to see a woman giggling and saying it’s too hard and that you may break a nail.  You may be afraid to walk into the weight room for fear of how you are going to look, so don’t act like a princess.  Then they WILL think you don’t belong.  Before long you will be owning the weights and seeking the burn.  That’s where the real sexy you will shine through.  I never asked a guy to pick up a 45 for me.  They  know I do not mess around back there and I think they respect me as an equal.  Stop being so self concious!  Think about how self concious you are to step out onto the beach in a bikini and use that as your focus. 

I trained chest and tris last night.  Yep, elbow was tweaking during one of my favorite cable workouts, so I just did more benching and used the machines more.   Tomorrow night I am doing an ab series as well as lower back, maybe lats.  We’ll see.  A few people asked about the camera last night.  I can’t hide it when it’s on a tri pod and they were really receptive of what I am doing!  I was afraid it might make them uncomfortable.  I have to actually talk to the camera, but making myself do it, helps with my shyness issue.  At first I was like, damn I look like crap all sweaty and greasy…….but got over that real quick.  Now, I really don’t care, it’s real, thats what counts.

So, happy thursday.  I have a party to attend tonight at Dr. P’s house on the sound.   Going to be sipping some Pina coladas and singing Copa Cabana out by the water………………
