It feels good to be back in the gym, doing more than just a quickie. It’s too easy to get out of the habit, to tell myself that I need to do computer work instead, or that my yard work constitutes a workout. When I do the gym first thing in the morning before I go into the office, that lets my work day flow more freely and it’s a more productive and satisfying day. And my life is all about what satisfies me. I’m sticking to the treadmill this week, not attempting the elliptical since it wore more out quickly last week. I worked arms, back, shoulders and core. It gets easier each time I do it. I feel worn out for an hour afterward but drinking water recupes me quickly. The head cold last month kicked my butt. I had fun bouncing on the man’s trampoline rebounder this week. I like running in place on it. I want to get one with a stabilizer bar. I’ve also been playing with my resistance bands at home, so at night my arms sing a happy song. 33 Resistance Band Exercises You Can Do Literally Anywhere. I’ve had a set of these hanging over my door and finally pulled them down to use this week. I’ve got two sizes and they give a decent workout. I do three sets of 15 reps working each muscle, in a loop.
