Dedman Center 10/14/05

The other day, I received an e-mail message saying that the campus gym's renovation has finally been through. They were showing the photo of climbing wall and other areas. I decided to check it out today. It is free with school ID and it has locker and shower area. They had my new favorite cardio machine, Fit Strider, 95xi and other decent strengthening machines. They even had TRUE stretch thing. I will look for reference for the future. It kind of looked like what they had in Bally's. It is definitely a good place for free!

nice workout day 10/13/05

I spent so much time in the office last week, so it was nice to get out of it before 4pm today. Of course, I went straight to the gym and did ab and back. Even took a dip! Tomorrow is cooking night for Japan Club at school, so I decided to stick around. The menu is okonomiyaki, yakisoba and green tea ice cream! I am hoping that I have a little time to check out the school gym because my class ends at 11am and the party doesn't start until 5pm. I packed a big towel and the combination lock that I used to use back in NM. Am I too hopeful? If I get to go, I am sure I will have a lot to report here!

went to the gym to take a bath 10/12/05

Yesterday I needed to be on Jose's show in the morning and had a few Texas-related errands to do, so I didn't work out in the morning. Then I felt that I had enough work to do in the afternoon and I never made it there. Today I was determined to do at least cardio, so I still went straight to the gym after school. The goof of the day was that I didn't pack the work out clothes! So I had no choice but to change to the swimsuit and hit the wet area. Of course, the pool was busy, so all I did was to dip in the hot bath for a few minutes, took a shower. Oh, well, at least I made it to the gym. Tomorrow I really have to make sure to work out because Friday is a cooking day at school and I am not going to come home until late. Grrr.

working out in the morning 10/10/05

Today is Columbus Day and it is also my fall break day. I went to the gym casually after I woke up. I wish I was working in one of the offices across the street from the gym. Then I could come in the morning. I used the same cardio machine from yesterday and noticed that it had 95xi on it. I started with Fat Burn, but for some reason, it ended up being Manual at the end. I was reading, so I was not paying attention to the beeping sounds and alerts. It was definitely harder than what I am used to from ArcTrainer. I guess I will keep working on it.

new cardio machine 10/9/05

ArcTrainer has been good to me, but now I am doing cardio level 10. I really shouldn't be on treadmill because of my knees. A while ago, I noticed a machine that I have never been on. People who were on it looked like having fun. Almost looked like they were bouncing. I tried Lifetime machine, pretty close to this one. I started doing cardio, but it got a little strange, too heavy, so I switched to Fat Burning. I will keep trying and probably get used to it and figure out more soon.
