A Little Miss Fit Update: February 9th

Made it to the gym last night again.  Yay!  Spent twenty-five minutes on the elliptical and anotherfifteen minutes of strength training on four machines.   Handsome said maybe I should try strength training first before cardio because its easier to have better form and do more reps before your muscles are buzzing from cardio... so maybe I'll try that next time. On the machines I did a seated leg lift, another leg push, seated bench press and a lateral pull down with various degrees of weights and about three sets of twelve reps on each.  I have a question about strength training that I need to remember to ask him (or someone).... How long should I wait between sets? I have been waiting as long as I need to feel like I could do it again, but I'm not sure if its long enough or too long.  Okay, that is it for now.

A Little Miss Fit Update: February 6th

So yesterday I celebrated the Super Bowl by going to the gym.

I had the weight area of the gym almost to myself (thank you football!)

I did about 30 minutes of strength training, doing sets of reps on six different machines.

Today I'll probably need to do some cardio to loosen up what I'm sure will be sore muscles.

To keep myself honest and accountable, encouraged and recorded, I might occasionally post work-out summaries on the ole blog.
