Alpha Bet Soup

Went walking today at lunch again. Got out before the snow started. That's 3 times this week. During my walk I stopped in and checked out Boardwalk Spa and fitness, on Monroe in the old Waterworks Building. It was bought out by Strength Beyond a couple of months ago. Pretty preppie. Lots of ellipticals, treadmills, bikes, awork class going on, lots of pretty machines. The free weight room is small and doesn't have enough Squat Equipment for me, but it was empty while every where else was crowded. I can use my membership there and might want to work in some noon workouts especially during boat season.

Speaking of Squats, I had a new personal best Tuesday night doing Good Mornings, 290#, 3 reps. Good mornings are a type of squat to strengthen your Gluts and lower back. http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/GluteusMaximus/BBBentKneeGoodMorning.html.
Felt good. Back to the gym tonight!

microe!

    what are you saying? "they don't know squat" (ha ha) Good for you on the new best.

    You know, that is one thing that I really LIKE about our little gym here, it's not at all "pretty" -- it's a sweat shop. But that's what we go there to do, right?! I hate those places that feel more like a pick-up-joint then a gym. I go first thing in the morning, right out of bed -- no make up, bed hair (which might even be left over hot-tub hair from the night before) and I don't think twice about it.
