The following day after I arrived from Baguio City, I went to the gym for my usual workout. I guess, I am the only one who is doing some stretching exercises before the workout. I immediately proceeded to the “Classic” Workout Area for my dumbbell exercises and weight lifting drill. There was nothing new in my routine where I exercised and did some weight training workout to my body from my arms/shoulders to  my chest, abdominals, back and leg muscles.

Before I ended my workout, I tried to run on the treadmill for the first time inside the gym. After a slow jog for about 3 minutes, I increased the pace to 4:48 minutes per kilometer. I was able to sustain the pace up to the point that I was able to reach the distance of 1 mile or 1, 600 meters. I had another 3 minutes slow jog to end my workout. I was thinking that I can do my “tempo runs” with the treadmill machine but I still believe that running on the road is still better than running on a machine.

My gym workout lasted for about two hours and fifteen minutes.

Back To The Gym

This afternoon, I finally decided to start my supplementary weight training at the gym. I concentrated my workout with my arms, shoulders, chest muscles, upper legs and abdominal muscles. I used light weights but with faster and higher number of repetitions.

After almost four months of not having workouts at the gym, I could feel that my muscles are shrinking and need to be toned again. My workout lasted for one hour and fifteen minutes and I was able to attain the exercises that I wanted to be done.

Before I ended my weight workout, I had my post stretching exercises for my arms, shoulders, body, and legs.

It was nice being back to the gym.
