Lower LOVE

Spent two hours in the gym today.

It was miserable outside.

Started off with a spin on a stationary. Got to the fat burn heart rate, which for my age I guestimated to be 114.

Hung out for half an hour. Then hit the mat for some stretching, core, back and the dreaded push-ups.

Pretty pleased I had the time.

Got to the planks and concentrated solely and the flab in the mirror. Not the clock.

Going to get there. I am, I am.

Not like “Sam, I am.” Like I have a goal and I’m going to get there.

Weight Watchers On-Line to peel the bouncy stuff. Constant consultations with pals and those in the know for a training program.

Consistency. Consistency. Consistency.

Most importantly, making the time.

Went to the lower leg weight routine. I spun off some squats, lunges, presses, curls, calves and left the hip abductors to last.

I LOVE the hip abductor machine.

My hips scream at me after a long ride. I do Bikram Yoga to balance everything back out. Seems to work the best for me.

But this hip abductor machine.

We are going to be hanging out a lot.

LOVE working the lowers.

With weights that is.

N.B. Since searching more information on the hip abductor machine on-line, I've since learned the hip abductor exercises are better done standing up with rubber bands. Less strain to the spine.
