Concept2 Model C and Power Block set |
Actually I go every day! This is our little home gym, in a small space just off our living room (with a door that closes for when company comes over!). The previous owners used it as an office, and while I'd love to have a home office, a gym is something I use a lot more consistently. It consists of a Concept2 rower, a Bowflex treadmill and a set of free weights. These items are among the best purchases we ever made.
This month I've been really stepping up my workouts, and today, despite getting only 4 hours of sleep, I rowed 10K at the fastest pace I've ever done (in a rowing career spanning almost 7 years now). Then I did some leg work with weights. Later on today I'll do a nice, long yoga practice.
Why all the exercise? Well, I find that I feel better (physically and mentally) and sleep better when I work out daily. But I'm also currently in training. What for? A few weeks ago, hubby took me here for my birthday:
Pacific Beach, San Diego, CA |
And I decided I want to learn to do this:
Surfers |
So I'm going to need to be a lot stronger than I am now!
Chances are I'll lose my enthusiasm for it by the time we make it back there, but for now, it's keeping me motivated!
SHARK!
