Hump day
Hi everyone! Well, spin class last night was UNBEARABLE! It was so bad that even though I wasn’t going to be teaching the 2nd class ON the bike, I cancelled class because I thought I was going to pass out. Here’s the deal: it was pouring buckets last night and the gym owners decided to shampoo the carpets yesterday morning (Seriously?!?!). Why they didn’t wait till Friday when there are no classes in the exercise room is beyond me. Anyway, the exercise room is already crazy hot and humid normally. There are 3 fans and vents in the ceiling but it’s still normally unbearable. To top it off, it was already humid yesterday because of the buckets ‘o rain (obviously). Then, add in damp carpets and a completely filled spin class and it was insane in there. I had two gals have to leave class early because it was crazy and even with going through 2 bottles of my own water I was still feeling light-headed and my quads and calves (lifted those yesterday AM) were starting to cramp. By the time I got off the bike I thought I was going to fall over. There was no way I was going to stand in that hot, humid exercise room another hour longer (even without exercising) so I just cancelled the 6:30 class. When I got home I laid down on the couch after taking a 5-minute cool shower and passed out. Jon woke me up at about 10:30 (I fell asleep at 6pm or so) and led me to bed. I did feel revived when I woke up this morning, but I have a very long day here at work ahead of me and an hour posing session after work…so I think I’m cancelling class tonight. I’m too close to my show to overdo it now…I’m worried I’ll get myself sick. Augh. Anyway, I actually had a pretty good workout this AM. I did bis and tris and 10 minutes on the treadclimber to finish up (plus I tanned for 7 minutes). I never tan more than 10. I have naturally olive skin and only need about 7-9 minutes to get color. I already look like I’ve been on vacation. I only tan during the last 4 weeks leading up to a contest. Plus, I’m always worried about skin cancer. So, below is what I did this AM: Superset 1: DB Hammer Curls - 5×6 DB Triceps Kickback - 5×15 (5 hitting all 3 heads) Jumping Jacks Superset 2: DB Incline Curls - 5×6 Cable Rope Extension - 5×6 1-legged jumps Superset 3: EZ Bar Spider Curls - 2×10, 3×15 Bench Dips - 5×6 Jumping Jacks OK, I’ve gotten away from this post like 3 times so I should just get to work. Have a fantastic day everyone!
