The gym recently acquired a tractor trailer tire to be flipped the length of the gym and back
- Tire flips - I've worked with the tire 4 times... And am now being told that I need to start doing 1 handed flips... Guess what I am doing today!!!
The big 'challenge' in the gym right now:
- Negatives - These tear you UP!!! I have tried 3 times. The first time I fell so fast I had to laugh at myself. The second time I felt my arms trying to hold on... and then I fell! The third time.... I didn't fall!!!!!!!! Still wasn't a true negative, but I didn't fall!!!!
So....... I am now up to a 2 hour weight training workout, 1000+ calorie burn every time!
And I am loving every minute of it! I have never in my life felt as good as I do at the gym, or the days that I get to go to the gym or on my way home from the gym! This is my happy place! This is when I get to do something for me!
Next Tuesday is the day to get into my 'not quite yet' bag to see what else I can add to my wardrobe! I can't wait to find out what stuff I can fit back into again!!!
