yeah, I work downtown. The Y is pretty busy down here, but it is spread out over 4 floors. The spinning class on Mon/Wed is usually full or just about full. Tues/Thurs has a waiting list. There are weights on floors 3 and 5. A lap pool on 3. THe Body pump and step classes are on 4,  free weights, machines, racquet ball, running track and spinning on 5, and I havent been up to 6 yet.

Looks like you hit the cardio stuff really hard.   

I think a spinning class would prolly kill me...   

I really like the BodyPump classes.  i actually look forward to it now.

I'm in Utah for a class, and I am sick like dog.  You may not know this, but Utah in the winter is, on average, actually colder than Hawaii.  Weird.




But, I hit the (reasonably) well equipped hotel gym today.

1.5 mile treadmill warmup
4 x 15 side shoulder raises, row, press, and pullup (only 5@)
in the pool, 5 x 30 sec eggbeaters (as hard as possible), then 3 steady minutes

It made me feel a little better for a little while.

There was a great article written on the subject of working out when you're sick with a respiratory infection (it tested upper).  Basically they found that while working out doesn't shorten the duration of the cold or speed healing, the participants who worked out moderately while sick reported fewer and less sever symptoms and more energy than those who did not exercise.

That sounds about right, according to my oh-so scientific evaluation.

The only workout I didnt get through for spinning was the first one. I learned to pace myself better so its not too bad. I am thinking about trying body pump over lunch on Thursday just to see what its all about.

I really like the BodyPump classes - I'd definitely encourage you to try it, if you're interested. 

You'll do lots of reps with relatively low weight on the bar.  Like your spinning class, it's a good idea to pace yourself.  BP will test your endurance, so start with conservative weight on the bar -- you can always add more.   We see lots of weight-room regulars struggle with (and quit) BP classes - they often overestimate their endurance and get frustrated.

It'll take ~3 BP classes before you'll really feel like you know what you're doing.  [that's the way it was for me, anyway  ]

I could set a machine to 200.   You know, "put" it "up" to 200.

Does that count?
