Only 2 working days left for 2008. I can't wait. Since we're closed as of the end of day Friday, and it keeps snowing, and there's a transit strike that makes traffic very slow, fewer and fewer people are showing up at the office every day. I might work from home on Friday if no one is around.
However, none of that has anything to do with my new thing for today. This is one of those things that I could have done anytime, but didn't .
I've talked about going to the gym before. Most of the time I go for specific classes - it has been over a year since I went simply to work out on the machines. The gym I go to has treadmills, elliptical trainers, and stationary bikes. It also has a strength training circuit with a bunch of machines. I've used most of those machines in the past, but there's one that has always intimidated me - the lat pulldown station. It consists of a bench you sit on, along with handles above your head (attached to weights) that you pull down.
Today I tried the lat pulldown machine. As is typical of things like that, it wasn't nearly as scary or difficult as I had built it up to be in my mind.
I Thought It Was Pretty Thoughtful

I usually go to the gym for classes, too, because I tend to quit early if I'm doing something on my own. If I'm in a class, I'm embarrassed to leave before the hour is over!
ReplyDeleteGlad you mastered the lat pulldown.
I'm exactly the same way. If I'm working out on my own, I end up taking it easy. I need the external motivation.
