First fitness club meeting of the year!

Today I worked out with Emily (emily-emchan.blogspot.com) at Hart House from 2:00 - 3:00 PM. I say this is the first, meaning it is the first time someone came out this year:) People have been busy and it has been tough to organize time slots suitable for everyone. That is why this blog network has been initiated - to complement people's individual or group workouts. Ok, enough said, here's the info.

Weight: 173 lbs

Workout

Stretches
Treadmill running ( 15 min @ 4.8 mph, 3 min cool down )
Machines
- Abdominal (3 x 10 @ 36, 36, 50 lbs) i.e. 3 sets of 10 reps @ weight
- Bench Press (3 x 10 @ 80,80,100 lbs)
Cool down stretches

It was fun and encouraging to workout with someone else. The workout was quite refreshing and energizing. I hope this keeps up and that more people would join:)

Oh, as a post script, for those joining the fitness club, be careful of not spending too much time on blogs:p Please try recording what you did after each workout and how you felt. Also, I ask that you spend maybe 10 minutes a week quickly commenting on other fitness club members' blogs. You can view their links at the UTCCF Fitness Club web page.

"The circuit training programme was designed in 1953 by Professor Emeritus Kirk Wipper (University of Toronto).
