Not sure what I'm doing here, but I am attempting to start a gym log...lol.

I joined RAC (Rochester Athletic Club) about 6-7 weeks ago and have gone at least 5 days a weeks since. I have never been big into exercise, but now I seem to have found my niche. I was telling my hubby last night that it was probably because I smoked before and couldn't breathe and it hurt and that's why I used to hate it.

Anyway...I have quickly become addicted (as is my personality) and I do cardio 5-6 times a week and resistance training every other day. The treadmill and swimming laps are my normal cario workouts, although often times when I get home in the evenings, I'll do Tae Bo kickboxing or step aerobics or something. I would like to start running, but am not to that point yet.

At any rate...right now I'm doing 30 minutes on the treadmill at 3.4 mph at a 2% incline. I'm up to swimming 450 yards at this point and hope to add another 75 yards by the end of the week. That is what I do right off the bat, but I stay in the pool for a while swimming...I just have to stop to rest after 450 yards...lol.

For the resistance training, I don't know enough really to tell you what I'm doing. There are a lot of machines I use and I vary the weight from 20 (to work back muscles...this one makes me sore!) to 40 depending on what muscles I'm working.

I resent the time I have to be at work because its time I could be at the gym...lol.

Anyway...that's my story. Will post again after I get weighed and measured either this coming Saturday or next Saturday. Have to check the calendar.
