Yesterday at the gym was a run day. Since my run was 4km and I had some extra time after, I did a quick chest and back workout. I was a sweaty mess after, like I always am and hit the showers after so I wouldn’t cause nausea around the office from my trenchant odourous armpits.… Continue Reading

Killer Leg Workout
Now that I have (mostly) uninterrupted access to the gym at work, I am really taking advantage of having an hour to myself to workout (and shower since we’re renovating our bathrooms and haven’t had a shower for a few weeks now). I decided that I wanted to spice up my routine and put together… Continue Reading
Surviving Monday and a Fun Survey
Well I’m happy to say that I survived day one of work. My brain was in serious mush-mode by the time the quitting bell sounded but I’m confident that it will eventually hurt less to think that much. I have a lot of catching up to do but things are slowly coming back to me.… Continue Reading

Traditionally, I tend to stay away from most classes because they require coordination and skill and I have very… Continue Reading
Excitement in the House!
The other day, I was driving with my hubby to meet up with some friends and I came across a sign advertising the opening of a new gym about 10 minutes from my house. I wish I could snap a picture but it’s at the intersection of two extremely busy streets and though I like… Continue Reading
My Experiences at the Gym
I haven’t always enjoyed going to the gym. In fact, there was a time when I was downright terrified of setting foot in one. I didn’t know how to use the machines, what exercises to do or even how to start the cardio equipment. I was completely lost and didn’t want anyone else to see… Continue Reading
Gym Memberships 101
Anyone who has ever gone to the gym can attest to how intimidating it can be. Lots of equipment that you have no clue how to use, racks of weights that look to heavy to lift and my biggest intimidation: other people who clearly know what they are doing when I am standing there in… Continue Reading
