Day #6: We pick things up and put them down!

It's Monday and while we've made it through the weekend and eaten a ton on Easter Sunday, our training does not stop! Monday is cross-training day and so we decided to hit the gym to tone some muscles.

Planet Fitness was our destination.  It's a pretty standard, no-frills gym, but for $20 a month I pay for myself and I can always bring a free guest so you cannot beat the price.  We upped our heart rates on the stationary bikes and then did some circuit machines.  I still feel a bit out of sorts at the gym, more of less wandering from machine to machine.  A personal trainer is in our future as I feel we may be a bit inefficient at what we do there.

After biking we worked on the tricep machine, the fly, biceps, row and shoulder press. I'm somewhere between 70 and 90 lbs on each of those while Amy more in the 30 lbs range. I state this because I'd like to see us improve in the next month so we're about 20 lbs more each.

At the end Amy took on the elliptical and I tried to tone the ole ab muscles.

One thing our training is lacking now is a proper diet.  We've been so busy we haven't been working on what we eat!  Hopefully coming soon are some posts about the nutritious food we've been cooking to try to complement our workouts.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) is an off day as we prepare for a 3 mile run on Wednesday!
