39:00 Row + Abs

New month, new blogging dedication. Why do I feel like I do this every month? I'm really good about writing my workouts down in my journal, but throwing them up here never seems to happen. Hmm... maybe I need a new tracking method. But it is convenient to go through on days when I'm like 'I need a full body routine that will kick my ass... what shall I do? oh, this was painful. go to!'. But that only works if I actually write down how I feel afterwards. Bleh. Time to think about this some more... maybe it'd help if I wrote down how I feel in the journal? But that's not searchable. And runkeeper doesn't do anything about weightlifting, although it's nice to know how many miles I run a month. Sigh. Trying to track healthiness is hard!

I modelled this cardio routine from ToneItUp's Rise and Run workout, but did it on the rowing machine instead of the treadmill. Then I did a couple of the video's from today's Blogilates workout (ab day!) for a complete 60 minute sweat-fest.

My grip-y muscles were DYING after this -- I think it's because I used one of the new rowing machines that showed up in my gym two weeks ago. They were definitely way more tightly wound that the old ones I'm used to. I'm a little annoyed that everything came out to 39 minutes (like, seriously?) but no biggie. I would have probably just added another minute of cool-down time anyway.

Not super sore anywhere the day after this workout -- I'm trying to change things around and work a little harder, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Guess I need to push even harder!

Also I'm fairly certain the people in my gym thought I was totally nuts for following pilates videos on my phone and doing them in a corner. I just have to keep telling myself they're not really paying attention. Except for that one guy. He totally thinks I'm a weirdo. But he's not wearing shoes, so his opinion doesn't count.

Aside: who doesn't wear shoes in a gym? And wanders around?? PUT YOUR NASTY FEET AWAY. I hope you get athletes foot and ringworm and whatever that really bad one that's almost strep is. [Edit: staph. staph infections. not strep infections]. And I hope someone drops a weight on your foot. Serves you right.
