Good evening!

So I’m up in Lynchburg, Virginia for the week, as we have some family business to attend to up here.

We left out of Jacksonville about 8:00a.m. this morning, and got here a little before 5:30p.m. Actually not bad time, considering I had three women in the car, one of whom (my amazing Grandmother) who is 83 years young!

After riding all day, I had to find a spot to work out! I of course could have worked out here at the hotel, in the parking lot, in the room, wherever but I like to go to other clubs when I’m out of town, just to see what other folks are doing, what they’re doing right, what they’re doing wrong. And of course to work out in peace with no one stopping me to ask me questions, because no one knows that I know so much more than they do about exercise and fitness!

The dog knows more about fitness than most of the people I see working out at other clubs!

Of course, not every one can be a member of Every BODY Fitness, where they have an amazing personal trainer/owner who provides them with incredible information and insight that allows them to have great workouts and achieve even greater results!

Anyhow, there is a Gold’s Gym (uggh) across the street from the hotel that I’ve actually worked out at before. This club is in a horrible location for a gym, so I was actually surprised to see that it was still open! I did a search to find gyms or health clubs in the area, and A hah! Other than a Y (double uggh), it’s the only gym in town!

So I sucked it up and went in to grab a quick workout, which I’ve posted below.

It wasn’t too bad, except for people staring at me when I was actually sweating from doing weight training. One guy who I think was a trainer, made a comment that I couldn’t clearly hear (I have to have my IPOD cranked when I workout) when I was doing dumbbell swings (obviously no kettlebells at a gold’s gym!) with 65 lb dumbbells.

Thankfully, for him, he didn’t come over to try to tell me I didn’t know what I was doing, or to tell me to stop “slinging the weights around!” Hahaha!

Ignorance amuses me.

Anyways, here’ s the work out I busted out. That’s all I had for today, as I didn’t get to workout til 8:30p.m., and I’ve been up since 5:55a.m.

More for tomorrow though!
