As I said last Monday, I've started some new aspects to my workouts in the Bean fitness room. Last time I tried these exercises my heart wasn't really in it. It had been kind of a long day and there was some apprehension about trying unfamiliar movements. I knew there would be pain. Scratch that, it's more like soreness. My thighs are mad at me right now. I've recently adopted lunges and axechop squats as part of the lineup and my legs haven't had this type of work, well, ever.

This new plan is exciting though and today I finally got to do full sets of the new things prescribed by the trainer. It was very hot and muggy out today so the cool gym was pretty much my preferred place to be today anyway. I'm also attempting to record a full day's worth of calories burned with the intention of comparing that number to the number of calories consumed. Look for that full readout either later today or tomorrow.
