Good to be Back at the gym

First day back at the gym in a week.  Took time off to allow my groin pull to heal.  I also got hit hard by  a nasty cold.  I am sharing today's routine to show that you can come back from minor setbacks.  dispite the
week away from the gym.  I only gained a pound.  keeping me within that 60 pound weight lose.

I did a mix of exercises. I really didn't have a plan. I started with a 15 minute warm up.  I then did 3 set of each for one minute.  I tried to take only a 30 second rest between each set.  Below are examples of the exercises I did.

I did planks with a punch.  unlike the picture.  I did mine on my elbows.


I am not sure what to call this.  I stand facing the wall, arms in the air and jump as high as I can.  It's harder than it sounds.  


I then hit the kettle bells.  I did 2 different exercises.

                                                                 Kettle Bell Deadlifts



Figure Eights


I finshed up with some incline pushups.  


It was nice to make through a workout with no pain.

Making the most with what I have.

Staying at a hotel with the family tonight. I did not make it to the Y for my workout. I decided to try the fitness center at the hotel.  

Treadmill- looked fancy. It had lots of lights and buttons. But not well maintained.  I had to run it at 7 level just to make it feel like I was at 4. It keep slowing down when u stepped on it.

They has a weight machine.  I managed toget at decent workout. Did some chest presses, arm curls and some leg exercise . Finished up with some push-ups and squats .

I tried the stair stepper. That was a joke.  I swear it was broke before I used it.
