For the past three weeks, life???s events have prevented me from working out as much as I would like. Now I find myself in Spain, and having caught up on my sleep over the weekend, I am ready and rarin??? to get back into a regular routine.
It???s about 30 degrees here (that???s 86 Farenheit for the Celsius challenged) and the gym is not air-conditioned. It???s also got low ceilings and no fans ??? you get the picture. I made the 10 or so minute walk from the hotel (that counts as cardio, right?) to the gym and in broken Spanish, told the owner that I would like to join for two weeks. Twenty-five euros later I was ready to begin. Two sets into the workout I was already sweating.
The first thing I noticed was several new pieces of Nautilus equipment, at the expense of some cardio equipment. As far as I was concerned, that was two improvements. One improvement by addition, one improvement by subtraction.
I must have been asleep when the announcement was made that Mondays shall be reserved for chest day. Easily two-thirds of the people there were doing a chest workout. Apparently, this notion is universal, as I notice the same phenomena when I am at home.
