Included with the cost of my nutritionist is a visit with an exercise physiologist. I need to make that appointment, but he is 3 hours away from me along with my surgeon and nut so I have to coordinate appointments. Along with my gym membership comes a fitness evaluation. I want to wait to have that until I've been going there for a while. On Saturday's at lunchtime, they have a class called Weight Training 101. It's supposed to be a simple class that will give you a good circuit. I may check it out on Saturday and see what it looks like and if I think I can handle it I'll go the next Saturday. I also have my sister who is a lifter and threw shotput, discus, and hammer in high school and college. She is a beast and knows a lot about weight training. She's trying to lose weight right now and is just doing the cardio thing. She already has more lean muscle mass than she wants, but she said that she would show me how to do everything correctly. I didn't do anything today that I didn't know how to do. I only used machines that I was familiar with and did either 10 or 20 reps on each and then did 20 reps on each arm with bicep curls. I need to talk to someone to see what exactly I need to do to try to reduce the bat wings that are already developing under my arms! I haven't yet decided what I'm doing tomorrow. On one hand, it's Valentine's Day and my birthday and I want to take the day off, but on the other hand I don't want to take the day off because I had a blast this morning! Wow, this message has gotten really long! I need to go to bed so I can get up in the morning! Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Have fun at the gym!
