Exercised last Thursday
Aug. 29th, 2010 06:15 pmI went to the gym around 2:30pm as planned, though my friend wasn't there yet. I started my usual routine (one mile track run, 3 minutes cool down, free weights, then machines) but she came up to me midway through my machine set and asked me if I wanted to learn some Pilates moves. I was like "yeah, okay, never learned it before." I was a little apprehensive because it was new to me, and I was broken out of my exercise routine mindset, which was a little comforting to me.
But we headed down to the exercise room further down the hall, where some mats, exercise balls, some machines and rowing machines were. She showed me some moves. I don't know the names of them, unfortunately. Kind of makes me a little "!!!" about that since I've become somewhat anal about writing down my exercise routines and logs. She showed me some moves, then we moved to exercise balls. There were exercises on the walls that I should've written down, but I didn't have my pencil with me. >_< It's hard trying to find balance on the exercise ball. The first one I tried was too big for me, and even the smallest one they had was a little awkward. Damn short limbs.
There were flies in the room (because the front door to the Center was open because air-conditioning is on the fritz in there) and we tried killing so many of them! I did manage to kill one, so yay!
Then we returned to the weight room and I continued my routine, though I left the lower body exercises out. Then I exited the center. I was pretty tired and feeling vaguely light-headed at that time.
On the up side, I shaved 3 seconds off my former best one-mile so I'm at 6:59! Yay!
( Exercise and all that )
I may ask her if one day I can just concentrate on my strength training and the other day do pilates and ball exercises with her. I can't do both in one day. It takes up too much time and my body can't take it.
