new gym!

Hey all!

So I finally broke down and joined the Planet fitness that just opened near my house. I had been planning on just using the good old outdoors as my gym... but then I remembered that I dislike running, snow, mud, and the cold. So the gym it was!

Today I did a mish mash of a workout-- just trying to figure out the gym:

1 mile on treadmill warmup
3x8 benchpress
3x8 squat
3x8 dead lift
3x8lat pull downs
3x8 seated squats

Then I tried out the planet fitness 30 minute circuit, which is basically a minute on, 30 sec off (or something like that) alternating between lifting and the stepping boxes thingies. So hard. But I really liked the mix of lift and anaerobic, so I think I'll add that to my workouts every day for the rest of my time.
5 min cool down jog
8 min abs.

meh. I'm going to try to go to this gym every day for the rest of break... hopefully i'll stay motivated


... gotta finish summer apps-- although I talked to the person who's in charge of the Pitt in China program at Pitt, and they said that unless I killed someone or something that I should be optimistic about getting in to the program! yay! we'll find out soon enough.
