Reconnected with acquaintance who introduced a new exercise program. It's an accelerated program. LOL
5 minute warmup on cardio equipment. No running on treadmill. That's too strenuous. Pick any row of weight machines. Do one set on each machine. Limit to 5 machines. No free weights permitted.
Hit the row machine for at most 3 minutes. Don't want to break a sweat. Do 20 crunches. Now time to stretch. If a cage device is provided, this is preferred. Total gym time is 25 minutes at high end. 30 is max.
Time for sauna to break that sweat. 20 min minimum. 30 min preferred because want to lose water weight and remove toxins from the body. There was a wet sauna but i did not partake.
Now quick shower off before dip in the cold tank where water is therapeutic cold temperature for ppl with sports injuries. Next is the jacuzzi for another 20 - 30. Shower, hair makeup. Out the door in 2 -2.5 hours. ;)
Private facility isn't crowded and well appointed. They have everything, cutting edge, specialty equipment, free weights, machine weights, dumbbell racks as far as the eye can see...group exercise classes, spin, TRX and all the tradition step and power plus, racket ball, indoor tennis and track. They even have a device that spins a swim suit dry and provide complimentary q tips, cotton balls, shampoo, conditioner, and body cream. Hair dryers, towels, mouth wash....u get the idea.
I left feeling disillusioned. I was exercising wrong all these years!!!
