So going to the gym is ok. It looks like I will be going every day from Sunday thru Thursday. I bought some workout gloves and they have made a huge difference. All last week I was really limited in my workout by my hands. They are so delicate that I couldn't really use much weight or stress myself too much. My hands would start to rip up and blister. Now with the workout gloves I can lift heavier weight and get those last few reps in. My hands are callous free and soft and that's how I want them to stay.
I also switched from riding the lifecycle for half an hour to the eliptical machine for half an hour. It gives me a much better workout. I sweat like a pig and my calves really start to ache on it, which is good because I don't want puny calves.
ooooh, i forgot to talk about my favorite part of going to the gym. It's the Chinese people! They are so entertaining to watch. They throw their own little flare into everything they do. There is one middle aged chinese guy who spend the whole time on the treadmill. He doesn't get much faster than a walk but it's his arm and body movements that make him interesting. He starts off by pumping his arms straight up and down over his head like something you would see a cheerleader do. After a few minutes of that he starts bending his body side to side while still pumping his arms. It reminds me of Kevin Bacon's dance scene in Footloose. EVERYBODY CUT FOOTLOOSE! Then there is the Hitler Youth Chinese Lady. She gets on the treadmill and she goose steps on that thing like she is marching down the streets of Paris after their pansy asses waved the white flag. She is exremely carefull not to bend her arm or leg joints. Then there is the Wax Off lady who...you guessed it...gets on the treadmill and does the Wax Off (not to be confused with the Wax On) move from Karate Kid while she walks. Oh my god it is amazing that I can even get through a workout without rolling around on the floor laughing my ass off.
