Good Gym Moments!

Hi just wanted to share some great gym moments of today!

At the gym I attend, I assume like many others, do an evaluation after so many visits to make sure everything going to plan. My sister had hers a week or so ago and said that due to the time it takes to do it they tend not to do the whole cardio session and just ask you how it goes. Wanting to stick to the good losses these past few weeks I arrived early and started on my work out.

Out of habit I go to the cross/elliptical trainer first and do speed interval through my twenty minutes (ie a slow minute and a fast minute) so I finish on a fast minute. When I'm on my fast minutes I tend to better the more fast pace the music is, today it was Skrillex's Bangarang (if you've not heard it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJVmu6yttiw&list=ALYL4kY05133rC1pV-Fma3i1EA8vX6xi4W&index=3&feature=plcp ) and I was belting out the high eighties to low nineties in the RPM from a forty RPM start. Once I finished I realised I'd forgotten my water bottle in the changing room and nipped in to grab it.

Turns out one of the ladies had been watching me on the machine! I tend to only go from forty to seventy but I try and do it as quickly as possibly and she'd been telling another lady about 'that girl on the cross trainer'. She then started to say that she was rather impressed and proud that I was putting myself through an intensive programme, the other lady she was talking out turned out to be the gyms new spin class trainer and she advised I try that out. Here's me just looking to get my water bottle!

When it came to the actual assessment the first thing the instructor said, as she's a blunt little thing, with our gym it turns out alot of people start with good intentions but never see it through weight loss programmes. She'd been noticing that I'd been loosing and was pleased that my cardio had come along so well and even my weight training. We even had a giggle when LMFAO's 'Sexy and I Know It' came on.

After listening to me saying that certain pieces of the strength machines weren't comfortable to use (especially after getting a contraceptive implant) she suggested another piece (I honestly can't remember the name ^^') and I was working on my second 12 rep. A lad, very cocky chaved up trying to be a big man, came up and said (I kid you not) 'stick it on 60kg for me sweety when you're done' I smiled sweety and said 'once I've done my 80kg reps, sure' as the lads face fell (his mates heard the whole thing) I heard my instructor giggling behind me.

So all in all, as you can tell by my text wall, I had a great day! If this it at the quarter stage of my progress I can't wait for the three quarters!
