7.46 Mile Bike Ride + Shoulder Workout

7.46 Mile Bike Ride + Shoulder Workout

Sara and I got to the BSC Westborough gym tonight for a rare Friday workout. Being the friday prior to a holiday weekend, the gym was incredibly empty. We were 2 of about 12 people in a huge gym, which was nice for a change. I went straight for the expresso bike with the intention of getting in a 25+ minute workout. I went to the "extreme" categories of courses and chose "Stormy Hollow" a tough 7.46 ride with 2 tough mountains to ascend. I felt great and ended up finishing the course in 27:36 with 356 calories burned. I also achieved a new medal for having biked a total of 26 miels, thus getting me the "marathon medal".



After the workout I went over to the free weights area and did dummbell raises, shrugs, lat pull downs, and finally 200 abs.

Was a great workout.

2.03 Mile Run in 13:29

2.03 Mile Run in 13:29

Well, we didn't make it to the gym tonight due to both of us working late - so instead we hit the home treadmill. I wanted to bang out a couple of quick miles so I ended up doing just over 2 miles in 13:29 for an average pace of 6:37/mile. I am definitely rounding into shape since I didn't have too many problems putting together a couple of quick back to back miles. Definitely feeling pretty good these days.

Chest Workout at BSC

Chest Workout at BSC

Sara had to get to work early today, so I figured that I might as well wake up early also and get right to the gym after dropping her off. I made it to the BSC Waltham gym shortly after 7am and ended up getting in just over a 1 hour workout. Instead of doing cardio, I decided to focus the duration of my workout on lifting chest. I did about 6 exercises before petering out. Definitely feelin good.

3 Mile Walk, Bicep & Tricep Workout, & 2.96 Mile Bike

3 Mile Walk, Bicep & Tricep Workout, & 2.96 Mile Bike

It's a long story, but I started my afternoon out with a long 3 mile+ walk from the MBTA station in Westborough to the Kia dealership in Shrewsbury. It was all in an effort to kill a little time, plus make our trip to the gym more efficient. Anyways, after my 3 mile walk outside, I picked Sara up from the train station, then we headed to the gym. Having already done quite a bit of cardio I went right to work in the free weights area with bi's and tri's. I put in a solid 30 minute plus workout and then finished off with a 2.96 mile expresso bike ride.
