Gym Firsts

You gotta lift…
I’ve started noticing some real, objective fitness improvements at the gym. Yesterday during our circuit I managed to skip rope for the entire 90-second rotation without stopping or messing up. My calves were aching afterwards. Then Spudds sent me to the rowing machine and told me I was going to break 100m in 20s from a cold start. I’d only managed 100m once before, and that was with a slow 30s rolling start. He stood beside me and shouted “Go!”, then barked encouragement as I heaved the handle back and forth like a maniac. Final tally? 101m. I got a mighty high-five for that one. 🙂

    See? These are the measurements you should track. Not pounds or inches. You go girl!
