Combo Day

The dogs were still at the boarding kennel with baths and nail trimming scheduled so I didn't need to get up too early today. In fact, I made it to the gym before the Senior class started. Since I missed the last three days, and spent the past two days in a car for more hours than I'd like, I felt the need to compensate for prolonged sitting. My hubs and I did, however, manage to squeeze our kid and his myriad of belongings into one car and drive home from college. So yaaay for that chore done.

I was surprised that there were so few people on any of the cardio machines and I was happy to grab elliptical #1 for the cardio warmup. Pull-ups were slightly better. There were teens in the DB area where I'd be doing my DB shoulder workout so I put that on pause and instead did Seated Cable Rows. The Senior class started and I took my time between sets, but I still had a lot of time to kill before I could use the Aerobics Room. The teens moved to a different part of the gym so DB Shoulder routine was next. I had toyed with the idea of doing Skull Crushers / Rip Skulls because it's literally been months since I last did those, but it'd be difficult to stretch the time out. Besides, the Inclined DB Press covers anterior delts and triceps so it's not like I'm really missing anything. 

I got the DB Shoulder routine done with healthy rests between the last three sets, and I didn't actually feel too tired. However, even though it was well past 12:30, there were still seniors inside the Aerobics Room. Ugh. I can't stand around waiting so I grab a mat and proceed to do part of my core workout at the front of the gym, where the functional fitness equipment sits. By the time I get to fire hydrants, I can see old people exiting the gym. That's my cue to enter the Aerobics Room. The a/c is actually on! I wanted to end my routine in there anyway because there's a big wall I can use for Wall Squats. That's harder to find in the rest of the gym between mirrors and equipment. I'm getting used to 120-second Wall Squats, though I have to admit it's much easier now that I've quit the Walking Lunges.
