PreMier. we took about 2 hours and 15 minutes. i didnt have to work till mid day, so we got to take our time, alittle longer breaks between sets. i wish we had atleast 30 minutes more on the weekdays. 45 minutes just cuts us a bit short alot of the times.

did 23 minutes of aliptical. did 2.8 miles.
and climbed into the tanning bed for 10 minutes. this has been such a long winter, and now it is going to rain almost every day for the next week. cant wait for better weather.

We're getting crappy weather on the east coast, too. Doesn't Mother Nature know it's spring?

Its been 70s all week, 40s for the next 7 days. Blech.

well yesterday turned out to be the only good day in the last 5 and for the next 6. so i went to the mountians and did some calorie burning the fun way. nothing like walking thru the snow and breaking thru up to you mid thigh, my legs were burning so bad after awhile, had to find the dry ground and try to work my way around the deep stuff.

it doesnt close until 10 at night, but we go at 5 a.m. we have to be out by 5:45 for katt to get home have breakfast and get ready for work. i will stay some days and finish up and do cardio, depending on what time i have to work.

I kinda liked being on the 'clock
...only have so many minutes to knock out your workout. Forces you to be productive. I'd sometimes take too long RI. Having the 'dead line' I KNEW I had to get thru my sets. I'd leave the gym wore out. Good stuff.

How do you like the Yates rows so far? Ive always loved them, but am never sure if my angle is right.

Having a time limits does force you to cut out the distractions, but sometimes you just an extra minute or two between exercises, and when there's a time deadline, you're sorely tempted to hurry things along.
