Well I hadn’t planned on going to the gym today, did 2hrs yesterday, so I planned on doing some work for most of the day and then chilling out with my kid!  But low and behold by mid day I’d finished my work and found I had this urge to burn some fat! So off I went.

The place was quiet, only about half a dozen ideal body seekers in this Sunday afternoon!  I set myself on the cross trainer, setting the workout to “Hill” instead of my usual “Random” that I have on level 8 or 9!  Wow, the “Hill” felt like a hill and I only had it on level 3.  I thought once I warmed up I would find it easier.  I set the workout for 40 mins, I usually do about 50 mins on my “Random”, and within 10 mins I was set fair and felt great!

My next machine was the “Stepper” If you remember I have a fear of this machine, but with the gym so quiet, it was my ideal time to get on it and once and for all demystify the damn thing!

I felt my calf muscles and my butt muscles immediately and it soon hit me why this machine was on my fear list.  Needless to say I managed about 8 minutes on the thing before I had to stop and retreat!

The good thing though, I got on it!  Next time I’ll 8 plus!  Guaranteed!
