What I Do at the Gym

This post shows the workout that I do when I say I go to the gym. I did not make this plan up - one of the employees at the gym did for no additional cost. I begin with a short warm up walk on the treadmill and some stretches. Then I move on to the machines...

 

First I do the leg press- 15 reps on the second setting (doesn't say how much weight that is on the machine.)

Second I use this machine and do 5 reps at 30 lbs. and 10 reps at 20 pounds.

Third, I do leg extensions- 15 reps at 25 pounds.

Moving on to arms- 10 reps at 25 pounds with hands on the different handles for different muscles to be worked (10 reps on the straight handle, 10 reps on the angled handle).

This one is the chest fly- 15 reps at 25 pounds.

I do two sets of 10 reps at 30 pounds (one set on straight handle, one on angled handle).

I do bicep curls on this thing- 15 reps at 30 pounds.

I do a triceps exercise with the rope- 15 reps at 30 pounds.

Time for abs! 20 ball crunches

I also do 20 bicycle crunches and three 10 second planks.

A pic in the locker room. You can't see my belly in this shirt, so this is when I was almost 15 pounds down (mid Feb.) Unfortunately the gut is now visible in this shirt. Thank goodness the Easter candy is gone from the stores!

When I first started out at the gym, it took me about an hour total (sign in, change, warm-up, workout, change, sign out). I'm down to about 30-35 minutes now. I guess that means that soon I need to up the weight or reps!
