Wonder Twin Powers Activated

So I got my first fist bump at the gym.  It came from a complete stranger.  Today was training with Alex. We started a new lower body workout. He told me it was time to step it up to the next level. Trust me he did.  He was showing me some new machines.  Right across from me was a guy doing an excessive amount of sit ups and trying to do pull ups. He would do this till he was exhausted and laying on the floor.  He was dressed in Under armor from head to toe. When you should not be.  I think only a professional athletes or people with zero body fat should dress like that. My own trainer knows better.  While he is laying on the floor he would cheer me on.  " you can do it man", "keep going". This was just the hamstring machine.  Where was he when I was doing 120 pound squats?  It was strange. Suddenly as I finished he hopped up and said " great job, keep it up" and than gave me a fist bump.  I think it is strange that a total stranger was so excited for me.  I can do without that happening again. It was one of those awkward moments.  The last thing I want to do while I am dripping in sweat and sore is fist bump a stranger. At least he didn't make it blow up.

So today's workout ranks right up there with the first one.  He worked me hard. The difference between the two are, I did not feel like I was going to get sick this time.

He had me start out on the treadmill.  The incline was set at 6 and 11 for 25 minutes.  WOW, was I sweating.  Than he lead me thru several other machines.  They all looked non threatening. was I  wrong.  This all leads to the last exercise,  THE STAIRS.  I needed to climb two fights of stairs 10 times.  I think he was getting worried I was going to die on him.  So he had me stop at 7.  He said it was 6.  I am sure it was 7.

Let's hope I can walk tomorrow.
