Getting Fit: Day 2

I got my fitness evaluated at the Y yesterday, so I could start some sort of an exercise program and act like I know what I'm doing in the gym.


Results from yesterdays resting heart rate test: I have a shin splint in my right leg. (I had to do steps for 3 minutes)


Results from yesterdays flexibility test: I think I pulled both calf muscles trying to stretch to far.


I'm going to the Y today, but I think I'll just rest and watch the kids swim in the indoor heated pool. Then hit Mexican and margaritas for dinner. That will make me feel better.

I hate bar graphs

No CPA did not sit me down for another bar/pie graph discussion (see my first post). My new fitness trainer did...


We joined the revamped Y a few weeks ago. Its fabulous! Btw, I love the word fabulous and use it often. And they have an indoor pool. The kids LOVE it and sleep like babies. Love me some indoor pool action in the winter.


Had my first meeting today with the fitness trainer. I haven't worked out since.... I don't know when. College? I figure if I don't start doing something other than chasing my kids, my muscles will atrophy. And that can't be good. My weight is great, resting heart rate - great, bmi - great!


Flexibility and core muscle strength - WELL BELOW AVERAGE. Yes, Below Average was listed right above Well Below Average. Right there. On the computer screen. In a bar graph. Thank you fitness girl. Did CPA call you? Did he tell you I might understand my fitness level better in a bar or pie slice? grrrr. Well, fitness girl... I think you have a cool accent (British it sounds like), so I'm gonna stick with you. I'm gonna work my way up to Below Average, then Average. I'll show you. You and your bar graph.


More mayhem later...
